Mega sale of airwaves by July: JS Deepak

Telecom Secretary JS Deepak said the government is working towards a mega sale of 2G, 3G and 4G airwaves by June-July and would a take a call next month on the starting prices of seven bands, including the coveted 700 MHz 4G band, recommended by the sector regulator. ´I would be surprised if we are not ready by March,´ Deepak said. TRAI´s spectrum pricing suggestions need to be ratified by the DoT and the Cabinet. The DoT wants the spectrum sale to be ´a triple win – customers should get reasonable good quality networks, operators should get business and the government should get revenue. I have been talking to the private sector that seems bullish on India,´ Deepak said.
