New-spectrum-regime-to-augur-well-for-telecom-sector-trai_

Q: Today was also the deadline for stakeholders to come and give in their suggestions, as far as the 2G auction is concerned. The Minister also making it clear that the TRAI recommendations would be crucial before any decision was taken in that regard. Can you give us an update of where that process stands today? How many stakeholders have responded and what is the way forward?
A: We have received from about three-four people. I expect more to come in during the later part of this evening and perhaps latest by tomorrow morning. But, as of now, we have received few comments.
Q: Therefore, you are on track for the consultation paper to be issued in perhaps two weeks.
A: Yes, in about 15-20 days from now, we expect to issue the consultation paper. Now that the comments have come in, our work actually starts from tomorrow. So, in the next two weeks or maximum two-and-a-half weeks, we should be able to issue the consultation paper. Thereafter, certain process, timeline for receiving comments and which is going to be not very long. People will have abide by the timeline and then we will have open house discussions followed by our recommendation. We expect to complete it at the earliest.
