Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal says, all operators will have to pay market price from now on for initial as well additional spectrum. De-linking spectrum from the licenses in the aftermath of the 2G scam, Sibal said, the spectrum will not be bundled with license in future. He said that license to be issued to telecom operators will be in the nature of Unified License and the license holder will be free to offer any of the multifarious telecom services. AIR correspondent reports that at present the telecom operators are getting spectrum bundled with the telecom licenses which had paved the way for low tariff regime and intense price war among the service providers. Now the new operators with valid licenses will have to pay market price for the additional 1.8 Mhz of 2G spectrum. Old operators like Bharti, Vodafone and Idea, who are holding spectrum beyond 6.2 Mhz, will have to pay market driven price for the extra airwaves. The Minister said that these changes will be implemented with immediate effect.The Telecom Minister asserted that government needs to think seriously on the adoption of an auction process for allocation and pricing of spectrum beyond 6.2 Mhz while ensuring that there is adequate competition in the auction process. He said that TRAI had made recommendations in last May and hinted that he will apprise the government soon about the findings of a study on the question of pricing of 2G spectrum.
