TTSL says TRAI recommendations do not ensure level playing field
TT Correspondent |  New Delhi |  12 May 2010

Tata Teleservices Ltd. (TTSL) said that the telecom regulator, TRAI’s new recommendations related to allocation and pricing of 2G spectrum did not address the ‘inequalities’ in spectrum allocation and issues of excess spectrum beyond 6.2 MHz.

TRAI’s latest recommendations have further pushed the company in the queue to acquire spectrum in key cities including Delhi. The recommendations state that spectrum needs to be allotted to those who have start-up spectrum or up to 6.2 MHz spectrum. Only later on, spectrum will be allotted to those who are in queue.

‘The recommendations thus impacts TTSL adversely and makes our case of expecting minimum spectrum the worst in the industry,” said a TTSL spokesperson. “We urge the government to examine these gaps once again and ensure that the inequalities are arrested and not perpetuated further. We would emphasize on the need to create a truly level playing field in the Indian telecom industry.”
