NEW DELHI: In a move that
may put huge financial burden on old GSM operators, the Telecom
Commission has said that one-time charge for extra spectrum beyond the
contracted limit of 6.2 MHz held by these players cannot be ruled out.
"Levy of one-time fee cannot be ruled out," Telecom Commission Chairman and Telecom Secretary R Chandrasekhar said.
Leading telecom operators including Bharti, Vodafone and Idea, have been opposing this saying there was no such clause in the telecom licences under which this type of levy can be imposed.
Moreover, these operators have claimed that allotment of spectrum to them was as per the policy of the day.
The one-time fee was recommended by telecom regulator Trai and the amount was computed by experts.
