Telecom and IT Minister Kapil Sibal Friday said his ministry will consider the recommendation of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India – TRAI – to cancel the 2G licences allotted since December 2006. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a function in New Delhi, he, however, evaded a reply when asked whether the government will cancel the licenses.In a new twist to the controversy that led to the resignation of A. Raja as the telecom minister , TRAI yesterday recommended scrapping of 69 of the 130 licences given for 2G phone services since December 2006. A senior official of the TRAI said the roll-out of services on these licences has failed to comply with the set norms.A report of the Comptroller and Auditor General has indicted the then communications minister A. Raja for irregularities in the 2G spectrum allocation, causing the exchequer a loss over 1 lakh 70 thousand crore rupees.
