NEW DELHI: The telecom department is finalising the quantum of penalty for delayed rollout of services by new players in the telecom market, an official with direct knowledge of the matter said. The latest entrants include Videocon, Sistema, Uninor, Loop, S Tel and Etisalat DB. Aircel Cellular that got licences for some circles before 2008 may also be penalised for delays.
India’s telecom regulations mandate that any company with a licence must meet deadlines for commercial launch of services. These six mobile phone companies, which bagged licenses in January 2008, have missed several deadlines for launching commercial services, the Department of Telecom (DoT) official said. DoT has powers to cancel licences of mobile phone companies in circles where they have not launched services even a year after getting the licence.
