The Government is proposing to bring a comprehensive Spectrum Act for assignment, monitoring, valuation/pricing, relocation and withdrawal of spectrum. This has been necessitated in view of the allegations and scam in the spectrum allocation and licences.A committee with retired judge Justice Shivraj Patil as its Chairman has already been formed for the purpose of drafting the act.
It is reported that the act may include clauses authorising the government to withdraw, revoke or cancel the spectrum allotted to the operators if they fail to effectively use the spectrum allotted.
