DoT asks TRAI to limit on number of operators (India)

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is reportedly implicit to have called on the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to limit the number of operators licensed to offer mobile voice services.

DoT said, ‘The number of pending applications in every circle ranges from 13-19 and consideration of these will push the demand for spectrum in a substantial manner.’ Moreover, DoT also noted  the fact that  the telecom tribunal had called for a reassessment of the policy not to impose limits on the number of operators.
