  Analysts, however, expect Idea to cherry pick data spectrum in its leadership circles like Maharashtra, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, UP-West, where the company has seen a sharp surge in incremental revenue market share (RMS) over the past one year.
  Idea Cellular has pegged its capex guidance for FY17 at over Rs 6,000 crore, which Lakshminarayana said will be aimed at improving customer experience.
  The third largest carrier by subscribers, expects that while the 3G and 4G technologies grow faster, data consumption per consumer will rise, a positive tailwind that makes up for investments made into improving network expansion via adding spectrum.
