While there is demand all over the country that the licence of the tainted telcos should be cancelled and criminal action tken against them in addition to severe penalty to be imposed. Now SwanTelecom, one of these companies which got 2G licence in 2008 for the rates fixed in 2001 ie. Rs. 1651 crore and is being proceeded against by the Supreme Court has offered that it is prepared to surrender the license and get back the licence fee of Rs.1651, if more amount is received through auction.

Very clever indeed. Swan wants to take back the money and get away scot-free. The Supreme Court, of course, will see through the mischievous offer and reject it.
