DoT to ask-gsm-telcos-like-bharti-vodafone-and-idea-to-stop-3g-roaming-services

he law ministry has said the telecom department can initiate action, including terminating mobile permits of Bharti, Vodafone and Idea, for allegedly violating licence conditions and entering into bilateral roaming agreements in areas where they did not have 3G permits.

Responding to a telecom department (DoT) query, the Additional Solicitor General has said the DoT was 'well within its rights to claim the amounts earned by companies by providing 3G services for which they did not have any authorisation, permission or license from the DoT'.

"It will be based on the doctrine of unjust enrichment' and this would be distinct from the termination of licences, the ASG's July 14 communication to the DoT added.

At the same time, the law ministry has also said the government cannot impose financial penalties on mobile phone companies for entering into 3G roaming agreements.
