Draft of NTP-2011 is proposing exit policy for those private telcos who want to leave from the telecom sector. This is another policy decision which will help the private companies which will be exiting. In fact if a company has failed to implement the licence agreements including rolling out services, its licence fee should be forfeitted and penalty should be imposed. Instead of that the government is now proposing to bail them out by relaxing the rules. This should not be done. There should be no question of returning the licence charges etc.
The present proposal will help cartelisation which will be against the interest of the consumers.
