The DOT has asked the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI ) to reconsider its recommendations to cancel the licenses of those companies who did not fulfil the licence obligations like rolling out the network etc. TRAI had earlier recommended cancellation of 69 licences of 5 copmanies for failure to roll out the net work.

The UPA II government has come to the rescue of the private operators as always. The cancellation of licences would have been a lesson to the private operators for violating the licence conditions. But NO! The government is fully on the side of the private companies even if they violate the lawas and rules blatantly. Hence this out of way support to them.
