'Auction of 2G spectrum will kill telecom reforms in India'

摘要

I personally feel he has been the right man for the Indian telecom industry. Although he has been under attack over spectrum allocation, he has done some good things for the industry. The industry should acknowledge that he had never put a cap on the number of players in each circle, and this has kept the market competitive. I believe he has followed the path set by his predecessors, including Arun Shourie and Dayanidhi Maran. The nominal entry fee was recommended by the telecom regulator, and it is the government that permits 74% foreign investment. For a new operator to roll out services, funds are needed, and what is wrong if SWAN and Unitech floated more shares to raise funds? I extend full support to the minister.
