It is reported by PTI that the government may introduce Unified Licensing regime in telecom sector that will enable the users to get mobile, landline, DTH and cable TV services from a single service provider without the latter necessarily owning the full infrastructure. The Secretary, Telecom M.F.Farooqui said that the unified licence is likely to come within a month. According to the proposal operators will be able to provide all telecom services with one licence. However, spectrum licence will be separate.

It is felt that the users will get benefit out of the new decision. However, the details are yet to be understood.
