Idea Cellular on the TRAI recommendations

Mumbai, 13 May, 2010

The Government Expert Committee Report, which was the subject matter of reference to the TRAI, had charted a roadmap towards i) spectrally efficient scale operators competing vigorously on level terms and ii) a transition from the command and control administered spectrum management/ pricing mechanism to a market based mechanism.

Taken together, the TRAI recommendations do not advance either objective.

For too long, the telecom sector policy has variously displayed characteristics of quota raj, license permit raj and an SSI mindset, conveying unfortunately impressions of crony capitalism.
