India’s DoT confirms UAS licences (India)The Indian department of telecommunication has announced that it will issue UAS licences to all the eligible applicants who applied before 25 September 2007. The unified access services licence authorises the roll-out of telecommunication access services using any digital technology, including wireline and mobile services. Licence-holders can also provide internet telephony, internet services and broadband services. The DoT issues the licences on a first-come, first-serve basis, but the flood of applications prior to the deadline last year had raised speculation that some companies could be refused. The UAS licence however does not guarantee access to spectrum and holders hoping to launch mobile services will still need to obtain a wireless operating licence and wait in line for spectrum.
