| With the mobile phone industry adding 10 million new subscribers each month, and a severe spectrum crunch having resulted, it is not surprising that the government is confident of getting big money when it auctions the 3G/Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) spectrum; it increased the estimate for this from Rs 20,000 crore in the Interim Budget to Rs 35,000 crore in the latest Budget. And since there was a difference of opinion between the finance and communications ministries on what the minimum reserve price for the 3G auction should be (finance wanted double the Rs 2,020 crore that communications wanted), the Prime Minister has been quick to set up a Group of Ministers to decide on the issue. The GoM will also decide on issues like the number of slots that are to be offered, the annual revenue-share licence fees, and so on. |
