Chinese telecom device vendors expressed their anxiety and confusion while waiting for the release of official telecom security norms with Indian government to re-gain access to the emerging market, according sources from Chinese telecom gear makers.

"We're now in a position of waiting and perplexity and keep active change of ideas with India telecom operators and governmental departments with the hope of swift resolution of delayed orders," said a source with China-based telecom device producer ZET Corporation on Thursday.

Chinese telecom gear manufactures are worried to get a lower hand in competition with western rivals if Indian government couldn't allow their access in the first around of 3G telecom device purchase.

Indian telecom operators are expected to roll out their 3G services prior to September with the auction of 3G spectrum ended on May 19.

"The documents on Indian telecom security norms have swelled from several pages to more than 40 pages in the process of negotiation among stakeholders,"said an official with Huawei Technologies.

It's reported earlier that Indian high-level officials have allowed the access of Chinese telecom gear vendors if they obtain certificate from the third-party organization in addition to about 11 million U.S. dollars of deposit by Indian telecom operators with the government.
