Parliamentary committee on IT questions DoT practices

The DoT which is one of the most non-transparent departments of the Government of India, directly under the Telecom Minsistry has come under the scanner of Parliamentary committee on IT constituting MPs. The committe has sent 34 questions to the DoT on why it is not following the regulations of? TRAI, India’s most powerful and professional organization for Telcom sector.

A. Raja, telecom Minister in response to CVC had stated that DoT has followed TRAI regulations in awarding licenses + spctrum on first cum first serve basis. Now, the committee has explicitly asked DoT,

Please reconcile and cite specific recommendations of TRAI by which DoT was guided while allocating spectrum in the manner which it has done.

Additionally, DoT has been asked to justify the removal of word “acquistions” from the Mergers & Acquisitions clause until the roll-out obligations have been met by licensees. Hopfully, the Parliamentary committee completes its invetigation and recommends actions aginst DoT and offocials in the Telecom Minsistry.

  1. Here is the real story not coming out due to POLITICAL reasons and since india elite millionares are behind telecom deal – just explore a little and it will cause a scandal in New Delhi and Mumbai , the word that will touch the painful nerve in Delhi and Dubai and UAE is ETISALAT

    You people have to understand the CORE of this arrangement which media and politicians are not highlighting because there are thousands of Indians in UAE . See the buyer of the Telecom License from the indian company is ETISALAT ( google it ) which is owned by UAE government . This company has BRIBED its way into indian telecom market !! While it mercilessly charges HIGHEST charges to India from UAE , it wants to benifit from the giant Indian market , plus UAE does not allow indian Telecoms to enter UAE so WHY should india allow UAE companies in Indian Telecom? The Indian public should start a media campaign asking who is Etisalat and why etisalat and who are the owners of Etisalat and BTW Etisalat has a policy of prosecuting other nationalities in UAE using UAE law enforcement for smallest reasons . Guys focus on the Arabs – who are on their SECOND conquest of India in 2010/2011 this time using Oil Cash PetroDollars not weapons. Do you guys want to be enslaved by Arab cash ? If know spread this word and start a campaign against Etisalat .
