Talks over limited mobility draw blank

Our Bureau

NEW DELHI, March 13

TALKS between the cellular and basic phone operators over the contentious limited mobility issue, which took place here on Thursday at the initiative of the Government, failed with both sides sticking to their guns. The matter is to be taken up now by TDSAT on March 17.

"We held a lot of discussions between the two sides, but an understanding could not be reached on limited mobility," said Mr Vinod Vaish, Telecom Secretary, who chaired the meeting of the Telecom Committee, set up by the Communications Minister, Mr Arun Shourie.

Mr Vaish said the Government would not seek to find a remedy to this issue now, as many rounds of talks have been inconclusive. Instead, the Telecom Dispute Settlement Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) is slated to take up the matter on March 17.

He said the telecom committee has not been dissolved and it will look at other issues such as spectrum allocation.
