TRAI refuses to cap number of players

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has conveyed to the Department of Communications (DoT) that it may not immediately decide on the issue relating to capping of the number of players per circle. The regulator said that it was a wider issue and could not be considered in singularity. TRAI, in this wake, has said it would only be able to give reply by November.

However, DoT is not in position to wait for November and wants the regulator to provide a response by as early as next month. Last year, the communications ministry abruptly changed the last date of 2G license application to September 25, 2007 from October 1, 2007 it had announced earlier. A number of companies, which had applied for a license between these two dates challenged the action of DoT in the court.
