‘DoT to move proposal for cut in licence fee for telecom operators’

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has brought the issue of cutting licence fee for the telecom operators back on the table, despite the committee of secretaries not approving it.

Sources said that DoT would shortly move a proposal before the Digital Communications Commission (DCC) to reduce the universal service obligation fund (USOF) levy by 2 percentage points to 3 per cent.
