TRAI seeks power to grant telecom licences

computing and information technology telecommunication service

It recommends 3 levels in the framework of unified licence

With the Centre yet to finalise the new telecom policy, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), on Monday, said it should be given the task of granting telecom licences, even as the regulator recommended three levels of unified licence for the telecom sector.

“In the new licensing regime, as the spectrum has been delinked from the licence, it has been recommended that TRAI should be entrusted with the function of granting all types of unified licences,” the telecom sector regulator said while issuing its recommendations on ‘Guidelines for unified licence/class licence and migration of existing licences'.

Similarly, in the framework of unified licence, TRAI has recommended that there will be three levels — national level, service area level and district level. “One time non-refundable entry fee for unified licence shall be (a) Rs.15 crore for national level unified licence; (b) Rs.1 crore for each service area level unified licence except for Jammu & Kashmir and North East Service areas where the entry fee will be Rs.50 lakh each, and (c) Rs.10 lakh for each district level unified licence,” it said in its recommendations forwarded to the Department of Telecommunications.

Notably, in its recommendations on “Spectrum management and licensing framework,” issued in mid-2010, TRAI had recommended that all future licences should be unified licences and that spectrum be delinked from the licence. This was accepted by DoT, which had then asked the regulator for detailed guidelines on the new licensing regime. After discussing with telecom companies and other stakeholders, TRAI has now forwarded its final recommendations that will shape the future course of the Indian telecom sector.

Earlier, DoT used to issue separate licences for separate services, and in case of mobile services, spectrum came bundled with licences. It was in this licence and spectrum allocation process in 2008, massive 2G scam to the tune of over Rs.1.76-lakh crore was allegedly committed under the regime of then Telecom Minister A. Raja. Now, DoT has not only made licence technology neutral but has also delinked it from spectrum; which means that a company can take a licence and is free to offer any service. And for acquiring spectrum, a market-driven mechanism has to be followed.

PTI reports:

Meanwhile, Telecom Secretary R. Chandrashekhar told PTI that DoT would try and speed up the new licensing regime in less than three months. “In normal course, it (approval) takes around three months but we will try to speed up.”

Once approved, telecom companies can apply for telecom licences without owning spectrum and can perform businesses that can be carried out without using spectrum.

Haj to be once in a lifetime affair only, Centre tells Supreme Court

The Hindu In this 2010 file photo, Muslims looking at a selection list after 'Qurrah' (draw of lots) for Haj pilgrimage, organised by Madhya Pradesh State Haj Committee in Bhopal.

The Centre has informed the Supreme Court that it has decided to restrict Haj pilgrimage at government subsidy to Muslims only as a “once in a lifetime” affair as against the existing policy of “once in five years”.

In an affidavit filed before the apex court, the government said the new guidelines have been framed to ensure that priority is given to those applicants who have never performed Haj.

“This is a major change introduced for the first time.

Restricting the number of pilgrimages to a Haj applicant through HCOI (Haj Committee of India) to ‘once in a lifetime’ as against the existing ‘once in five years’ will ensure that the Haji will benefit from government subsidy only once in his/her lifetime. It will also ensure that priority is given to those applicants who have never performed Haj,” the Centre said.

The government, however, refrained from disclosing the amount of subsidy being incurred by it for 2012 saying, “The exact figure in respect of the travel subsidy to the pilgrims going through Haj Committee of India for 2012 will be known after the Hajis completed their Haj journey and return to India.”

According to the government, priority will be given to those who are in the 70 plus category and those who had unsuccessfully applied thrice earlier for the subsidy.

The Centre’s affidavit comes in the backdrop of certain searching questions raised by the apex court on February 24.

A bench of Justices Aftab Alam and Ranjana Prakash Desai had directed the Centre to provide details of subsidy given by it and criteria adopted for allocation of seats to state committees.

The apex court frowned at the practice of sending official delegations to accompany the pilgrims and had asked the Centre to furnish entire details regarding Haj subsidy, as also to the criteria adopted.

The apex court was hearing an appeal filed by the Centre challenging a Bombay High Court judgement which had directed the Ministry of External Affairs to allow certain private operators to operate the services of 800 of the 11,000 pilgrims earmarked under the VIP quota subsidised by the government.

Earlier, the bench had pulled up the Centre’s practice of “politicising” the annual Haj pilgrimage by permitting official delegations to accompany the pilgrims, for which the government offers huge subsidy, saying, “It’s a bad religious practice.”
