The telecom ministry has started issuing show-cause notices to the telecom companies which allegedly suppressed information to bag licences or failed to roll out services in stipulated time.Telecom Secretary R Chandrasekhar told media persons in New Delhi this evening, show-cause notices to some firms have gone today and expect the process will be completed in the next few days. Mr. Chandrasekhar said the operators would be given 60 days to respond to the show-cause notices and each case wouldbe dealt separately.Our correspondent reports, notices would be served to about nine firms, consisting of 119 licences, of which 85 are allegedly ineligible to get licences and the remaining for missing roll-out obligations. The notices for a total of 119 licences would be based on the list of licencees, as pointed out by the CAG, that were ineligible to get licences due to misinformation furnished by them. The telecom regulator TRAI also recommended cancellation of licences for lapses in roll-out obligations. The government auditor CAG has quantified a revenue loss of up to 1.76 lakh crore rupees for giving licences and spectrum at 2001 price of 1,651 crore rupees for pan-India operations by former telecom minister A Raja in January 2008.
