At last the government has finally decided to hold the auction for 2G and 3G spectrum in February 2015. It has also agreed to hold the auction together as demanded by the private companies, instead of its own decision to hold the auction separately, which would have got more funds to the government.

As per the Cabinet decision, spectrum in 800 MHz, 900 MHz and 1800 MHz will be put to action. The reserve price for the same are fixed at Rs. 3,646 crore, Rs. 3,980 crore and Rs. 2,191 crore respectively. According to the reports, the government is expected to get between Rs. 64,000 crore and Rs. 80,000 crore.

The payment may be in installment and the government is expected to get at least Rs. 16,000 crore in this financial year.

Delhi High Court on 27th May issued  notices to Idea Cellular and its top executives including Chairman Kumaramangalam Birla for violation of its earlier order prohibiting the company from providing 3G service to customers in circles where it has not been allotted spectrum for the purpose.

The private companies like Idea,Vodafone, Airtel etc. have been providing the 3G services illegally in many circles with out allocation of spectrum through the licences of other companies. it is to be noted that BSNL was compulsorily allotted 3G spectrum in all circles and charged a hefty amount for the same, while these private companies by paying a small amount was providing service in all the circles.

The govt. should act strongly and cancel the licences of these erring companies instead of making compromises.
