Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal has said that India is looking at holding spectrum auctions for the fourth generation, 4G mobile services by the end of this year. While speaking at the India Day function, organised by the department of telecommunications, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Mr. Sibal said, they will finalise plans to sell off radio waves for the 2G services. Mr. Sibal also added that the government does not want to put all the spectrum for auction at one go, but their final decision will depend on the recommendations of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, TRAI. The minister said that the government will auction 2G spectrum, to be vacated by the cancellation of licences, following the Supreme Court order. He said, the procedure for holding spectrum auctions should be very transparent. Mr. Sibal also said that he will approach the Cabinet in a month on issues like the pricing of spectrum and other decisions vital for the new policy framework. He said that he will announce the contours of National Telecom Policy 2011 in April, which will present the roadmap for the telecom sector over the next 15 years.
