It seems surprising that even after the TRAI, DOT, TERM etc. has clearly spelt out that the 3G roaming service being provided by the private telecom companies Airtel, Vodafone and Idea, in circles where they have not bid for auction of the spectrum is illegal and violation of the licence conditions, the government is not prepared to take any action. It is dilly-dallying with the matter to find out an excuse route for the companies. The COAI,  the organisation of these companies have demanded the government that, if they are not allowed to roaming as being provided as now, they should be returned their auction free. The Prime Minister a few days ago at the meeting of the India Telecom assured that their concern will be attended to, meaning some bail out  will be made available.

I am completely opposed to the bailout. Instead,  these  penalty should be imposed on them, the Spectrum cancelled and penal action taken against them for cheating the government and the nation. Pressure should be mounted upon the government for the same.
