MultiNational Companies to be part of Third Generation spectrum bids
Foreign companies, waiting in the wings to enter the Indian telecom business, will now have an opportunity to start third generation (3G) mobile services without holding a telecom licence. They have to have 3G experience. Existing Indian operators in the 2G space are also eligible. All of them have to go through an auction in which the floor price has been fixed at Rs 1,940 crore.
