The meeting of the Telecom Commission held yesterday did not take any decision on the spectrum charges. It has decided to refer it back to TRAI for an analysis of the issue by  before submitting it to the Group of Ministers headed by Pranab Mukherjee.

TRAI headed by J.S.Sharma has earlier recommended the basic charges to be fixed for auction which was strongly opposed by the telecom companies stating that the  increased charges will result in higher charges for the users. Now a new Chairman Rahul Khullar has been appointed for TRAI, the government may be seeking to reduce the basic charges to please the private telcos.
