3G may be non-starter in 2010 - India Business - Biz - The Times of IndiaFears that 2010 could be a washout for 3G auctions altogether are getting stronger with the DoT now planning to dramatically reduce the auction offering from four to just two pan-India slots.
The 3G auctions have already been delayed by over a year. DoT sources confess to an anxiety buildup as a result of this delay. "The belief that bidders will place conservative bids if spectrum is to be allocated several months after the auctions with no certainty about the allocation schedule has forced a rethink", admitted a senior DoT official.
Now getting 3G this year too, seems tough, may we should skip 3g and migrate directly to 4G
