rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted January 8, 2013 Supreme Court May Hear Sistema's Curative Petition On Thursday Source NEW DELHI: India's apex court is likely to hear the curative petition filed by the local unit of Russia's Sistema challenging the cancellation of its mobile permits on Thursday, executives familiar with the developments told ET. The curative petition is vital for Sistema as the company is required to shut down its networks by January 18 since it did not bid in the last round of auctions and obtain new permits. The telecoms department had earlier indicated that it would support Sistema's curative petition in the apex court. ET has learnt that the telecom department may seek an extension for Sistema's permits that expire on January 18, and ask the apex court to allow it to continue operations until the conclusion of the next round of spectrum auctions that are scheduled to begin on March 11.

KAPILKDEV 68 Report post Posted January 11, 2013 The Department of Telecom has filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court to allow operators including MTS whose licences have been quashed, to continue services till the next round of auction.The Telecom Department has told the court that it has put in place an action plan to conduct another round of spectrum sale in March and hence the operators may not bid if their services are shut down on January 18.“It is respectfully submitted that existing operators whose licences stand quashed may or may not evince interest in such an auction if they are not allowed to offer their services pending conduct of such an auction and this may impact the discovery of an optimal price for spectrum,” the DoT said in its affidavit.

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 More likely outcome, Supreme Court will not restore MTS License, But will allow extension till next auction in March 2013 as per DOT's affidavit. MTS participates in that auction, wins spectrum & pays market rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chitshar 25 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 With operators like uninor, videocon who have bid for selected circles and possibly MTS also in future auction, how are they going to implement free roaming if these operators dont have pan India spectrum?

commonman 228 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 Same way as 5 free withdrawal per month from other bank ATM is presently implemented. The customer is not charged anything but the service providers settle charges among themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
commonman 228 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 I agree with RM ji. In a way MTS is in an advantageous position as it is possibly the only operator interested in additional CDMA spectrum. Reliance and TATA already have their spectum and no other operator is interested. So MTS would use its Russian Govt link to reduce the price of the spectrum. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KAPILKDEV 68 Report post Posted January 16, 2013 Overpriced spectrum and allowing service providers to act as they like. Resulting new entrants shuttling down, old existing service providers joined to a mafia. http://telecomtalk.info/tariff-hike-other-policies-why-regulators-silent/103853/ The government should instead give the spectrum to a nominal charge and bring strong regulations in call, sms and data charges.
