The private telecom companies whose licences have been cancelled by the Supreme Court in connection with the 2G scam will have to stop their services by 2nd June, the last date of the four months time given by the apex court. Some companies like Etisalat wanted to stop before the due date, but TRAI directed them to continue up to 2nd June.

In the meantime the central government had made a Presidential Reference on the matter to find out the details of the orders and how it will affect the allotment of natural resources in future.
