BSNL, MTNL, Spectrum Auction

The auction for spectrum proposed today is expected to get at least Rs. 5.6 lakh crore for the Government. It may be more also.

We demand that the government should allot at least Rs. 10,000 crore to BSNL and a similar amount to MTNL for modernisation and purchase of equipment.  The BSNL and MTNL Managements as also the unions and associations should take up the issue with the government. It is the duty of the government to assist these  two telecom PSUs to pass over the present financial crisis and restore its past glory. Simply issuing statements that Government will assist BSNL / MTNL is not sufficient. Action should follow assurances.

Spectrum Auction

The government is going to get Rs. 1,09,874.91 crore from the spectrum auction. Out of this Rs. 28,872.77 crore will be received by the Government by the end of this month. The allotment is for 20 years and the balance amount will be collected in installments.

As demanded earlier, the telecom PSU, BSNL, should be allotted a portion of this, say about Rs.10,000 crore for providing universal service, which is loss making and which is not provided by the private companies.

Spectrum Auction

New Delhi, Mar 26 : The Supreme Court today lifted its embargo and allowed the government to finalise the result of the just-concluded biggest and “fiercest” auction for telecom spectrum, fetching a whopping revenue of Rs 1.09 lakh crore. (PTI)

The result of the spectrum auction was not declared due to an earlier order of the court. Now it has been removed.

Spectrum Auction

The spectrum action is over after a very long 19 days. The government will get Rs. 1,09,874 crores from the auction of 800 MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz and 2100MHz spectrum. This is the biggest auction of spectrum so far. There has been stiff competition to get the spectrum by the private companies.

We demand that from the spectrum sale, at least Rs. 10,000 crore should be paid to BSNL as immediate assistance to purchase equipment for expansion and maintenance.

Spectrum Auction – Bid reaches Rs. 1.07 lakhs crore

price rise, Spectrum Auction

By 17th the Spectrum bids have reached Rs. 1.07 lakh crore. The government will certainly get good money.

But what about the consumers? It is afraid that the private companies who have taken thousands of crores of rupees from the Banks for bidding will certainly raise the charges. The consumers will be compelled to pay more. Since BSNL and MTNL are in the field, it will not be so much easy for the private companies to increase much. We can watch the developments.

Spectrum Auction

What CAG stated in his report about the 2G scam is proving true. Spectrum is costly. By the 9th day of the bids, the amount has crossed Rs. 1.02 lakh crore.
The government getting this windfall charges should allot at least Rs.10,000 crore for the revival of BSNL.

The TRAI, Telecom Companies pressure for release of more spectrum for auction

25 Tuesday Nov 2014

Spectrum Auction

The TRAI Chairman, the private telecom companies, the business community – all are putting much pressure on the government to release more spectrum of all bands  for the next auction. Their argument is that if more spectrum is not there, there will be stiff competition and the price will go up, resulting in increase of telecom services.  They are also putting pressure for getting the spectrum released from the government departments like defence and also BSNL. They are pointing to other countries, where more spectrum has been released for the private corporates.

All these arguments will seem logical. But India is different from developed countries. India is only a developing country, the regulatory process is at the initial stage and about 50 % of the people are below average income, say below poverty line. You can not compare this situation with the developed countries.

Further, once the valuable and limited spectrum are released and allotted to private companies, you will never be able to take it back, whether for defence purposes or for other government purposes. Security and national defence will be at risk. The private companies will bargain high.

Another reason is that the present auction will get much funds for the government. The corporate wants to get the spectrum cheap. But the customer will never get the benefit out of  this. Only their profits will increase.

The corporate wants the BSNL and MTNL to be disabled and weakened so that the private telecoms can increase the rates and finish the PSU telecom companies.

It is necessary that the Government do not fall in to the trap of the private telecom companies, willingly or unwillingly.

Private Telecom Companies demand more 900 MHZ for auction – demand BSNL, MTNL spectrum also for auction

BSNL, MTNL, Spectrum Auction

BSNL and MTNL Managements and workers are in real danger. A move has already started with the private telecom companies demanding for the auction of the 900 MHZ spectrum allotted to the BSNL and MTNL during 1996 to 2000. The TRAI has also demanded that more spectrum should be auctioned echoing the demands of the private companies.

900 MHZ spectrum is the most valuable spectrum and is in much demand by the telecom companies. This spectrum was allotted to the private companies during the 1995 – 96 period for 20 years.By 2015, the auction period will be over. Auction is scheduled to be held in 2015,but there are not sufficient spectrum as required by the telcos. Hence they are looking to grab the spectrum of the BSNL and MTNL. The private companies are demanding that these spectrum is to be vacated by BSNL and MTNL and are to be auctioned. It is true that some surplus spectrum is with BSNL, MTNL but it is required for future expansion. Once vacated, BSNL and MTNL will never be able to purchase it back in auction due to the bad financial position of these PSUs.

BSNL and MTNL Management should take strong position and demand the government not to succumb to the pressures of the TRAI and private companies and take away the existing spectrum from the PSUs.
