Qualcomm in talks with firms for India broadband gear

Qualcomm is in talks with four telecom network gear makers, including Ericssion and Alcatel- Lucent for its India broadband venture, the company's India and South Asia head said.              
 

Kanwalinder Singh told reporters on Thursday Qualcomm is also in talks with Nokia Siemens and Huawei Technologies.                                            
Qualcomm, which spent $1 billion in buying broadband spectrum in India in an auction earlier this year, last month agreed to sell 26% stake in its India broadband venture to Indian firms Global Holdings and Tulip Telecom for about $58 million.
