Sibal had further stated that the Department of Telecom (DoT) will hold consultations with key stakeholders to evolve a "clear and transparent" regime covering licencing, spectrum allocation, tariffs/pricing, linkage with roll-out performance, spectrum sharing, trading and mergers and acquisition.
The association further added, "The concept of holding consultation with the stakeholders to evolve a clear and transparent regime covering various issues like licensing, spectrum allocation, spectrum trading, merger and acquisition in a technology agnostic environment is a progressive step."
