The Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India has opposed move to impose a one-time spectrum on operators with prospective effect. The AUSPI, which represents Tata Teleservices and Reliance Communications, said the proposal favours incumbent GSM players.
“The proposal, apart from being legally untenable, is skewed in favour of the incumbent GSM operators whose balance licence period is only a few years,” AUSPI said. “
The proposed charge would cause incalculable damage to the businesses and investments made by our members, including Tata Teleservices and RCom, over the last several years on the basis of the promises contained in the licence agreements,” it said.
The Telecom Ministry has proposed to collect a one-time fee from incumbent players based on the price determined during the forthcoming 2G auctions.
