Supreme Court of India once again allowed MTS India and Uninor (Mumbai circle), whose mobile service license were due to be revoked on 18th January as per an earlier Supreme Court’s order, will continue their mobile services until it hears the case next on 11 March, 2013.
The Supreme Court of India was scheduled to hear the case on February 4 as earlier we shared on TelecomTALK, but changed the date to 11th March without specifying any reasons.
It significant to share that a two-member bench of the Supreme Court had also indicated that it may not extend the temporary permits of mobile services if they did not bid for licenses in the upcoming auction of spectrum for 1800mhz and 800 Mhz (GSM/CDMA).

If Uninor were aware that the case or hearing was in supreme court, why did it continue to render new subscribers for new and old SIM service users. They should have informed their outlets about the ongoing hearing and should had halt their service by 5 or 6 Feb 2013, before selling new sim cards to customers. Now, who is going to compensate, as I have already distributed my uninor no. to many people, business, friends and family circles. I want resolution

WHEN OPERATORS WILL GET THE NEW LICENCES THAT THEY WON IN NOVEMBER 2012 AUCTION ? LIKE VIDEOCON IN BIHAR

Uninor kolkata will also continue upto 11th March 2013 like it continues till today
But after 11.03.13 Uninor will stop service in Kolkata whereas in Mumbai they can continue provided wins Licence .
Better for Telenor would to buy out LOOP in Mumbai bcoz LOOP is a looser in Telecom

i think SC is just cheeting people.MTS will never close.it will continue its services

You have no right to talk in such way about SC.
Still, whatever SC is doing is favor of common people and investors.

dont worry MTS rajasthan license will never get cancel and even it;s all india operation wont be ever effected . the indian govt for sure knows that the step by MTS to move to int court wil only dent indian image as a corp inv hub and begets its bilateral ties with russia CSIR nation,this will also create problem for indian PSU operating abroad paticularly ONGC invested in russian oils and petro product … looking after all these points its asafe to say that atleast MTS will remain safe
kavin February 2, 2013 at 8:40 pm
all mts service will be down. but government will ask to contineau services… i was afraid till spectrum auction … but now happy going to buy 2 more mts phones…

MBlaze is a service of MTS by CDMA spectrum so if MTS will unable to retain its license in a specific circle in next CDMA bid then they have to definitely shut down there all CDMA (including MBlaze) services in that particular circle.

what about consumers who bought cdma sets from mts if operations shut due to unfavorable verdict.
