This may be ‘bad news’ for BSNL users

NEW DELHI: The telecom regulator has not received any communication from the government seeking its view on allotment of 4G airwaves to state-run telecom companies Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL), a senior official said.
The comments of the senior official at the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) contradicts that of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) which last month said it has referred the 4G spectrum allotment matter to the regulator, following a decision taken by the Digital Communications Commission (DCC), the DoT’s highest decision-making body.
“We have not received any reference from the department of telecommunications (DoT) for providing recommendations on the 4G spectrum to BSNL and MTNL,” the official told ET, requesting not to be named.
