After Malaysia, Research In Motion moves to India
Its just a month ago that we talked about a tie-up of Research in Motion (RIM) with Maxis Communications in Malaysia (http://asiabusinessconsulting.blogspot.com/2004/09/maxis-and-rim-announce-plans-to-offer.html).
Now, RIM moves further and tied-up with Bharti Tele-Ventures. The interesting piece here is that Singapore Telecommunications owns 20% of Bharti Telecom and holds a stake of 15% in Bharti Televentures, which is the holding company of Bharti's service operations. Why is this interesting? Because SingTel also has a share in Telekom Malaysia, a fierce competitor to Maxis.
Now, will this new tie-up in India have an effect on the tie-up in Malaysia? Do we see co-optition or preemptive moves?
