| Sunil Jain: Solving spectrum scarcity | 16-NOV-09 |
|
| Going by the nature of the questions being asked to Attorney General GE Vahanvati in the government’s appeal in the S Tel case in the Delhi High Court, the government is in for a tough time. The S Tel judgment last July says telecom minister A Raja’s September 25, 2007 cutoff date decision is illegal and that all the 46 firms that applied for licences have to be considered instead of just the nine Raja favoured. Given the government doesn’t have the spectrum to give the licences, there is an obvious urgency over the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s (Trai’s) consultation on the matter since, if Trai caps the number of telecom operators, the government can present the court with a fait accompli. |
