The two companies had tied up in an arm's length revenue sharing deal which would allow Reliance Jio to use Bharti's tower and cable assets. The worry that Bharti has is that Reliance could use these assets to introduce voice services in the same circles as Bharti after the 2G spectrum auction, if it were to acquire pan-India spectrum. Reliance Jio already has a pan-India 4G spectrum that it acquired in 2011. Bharti Airtel is trading up 1.2%.
