Surely, the various news reports we read clearly highlights, Tata has 
been a corrupt organization and has been found completely involved in 2G 
scam and must be forgotten completely by consumers in their own interest.
Pursuant to recent Supreme Court directives, the news on the subject 
that Tata has been asked by DoT (Govt. of India) to surrender all 
spectrum they have in CDMA band, that too unconditionally is also on the 
rounds.
Photon (and the sub and associated brands) are all based on CDMA, why go 
for it at such stage of the events?

I guess, very soon, you will have to do this exercise again (ISP 
evaluation) this time with keeping the Tata option out.
