What come as a shocker for many operator is the judgment passed by the Supreme Court today which has cancelled all 122 2G licences.
As per ET the licenses of 11 companies have been cancelled the penalties have been imposed on Tata Teleservices, Unitech and DB Realty.
The Mobile Service providers (GSM/CDMA) that are set to lose on account of the cancellation of the licences are Uninor (joint venture between Unitech and Telenor of Norway), Loop Telecom, MTS India(Sistema Shyam TeleServices) Cheers Mobile – Etisalat DB (joint venture between Swan and Etisalat of UAE), S Tel, Videocon, Tatas and Idea Cellular.
All these 122 licences issued by former telecom minister A Raja in January 2008 on first—come first—serve basis, Uninor (Unitech-Telenor) was alloted 22 pan India licences, Loop 21, Sistema-Shyam/MTS India 21, Cheers Mobile or Etisalat—DB 15, S Tel (Shiva Group & BaTelco) 6, Videocon 21, Idea 9, Spice Communications 4 (now owned by Idea Cellular) and Tatas 3.
The companies can operate the quashed licenses for 4 months and TRAI has been asked to make fresh suggestions for grant of licenses.
The government has been asked to take a decision after one month of getting the TRAI recommendations all though this ruling has now created lots of confusion among customers .
Whats you take on the judgment passed by the Supreme Court today do let us know via comments.
Jai February 5, 2012 at 8:14 pm
I think uninor,videocon,loop and cheers mobile companys liecence cancel by court its nice judgement because these companys got licence many circles but not provide network.
RDB February 4, 2012 at 4:34 pm
@Saurabh
Auction is not the only way to sell the spectrum… FCFS policy is also used in mining and other sectors.
Saurabh February 4, 2012 at 11:51 am
Spectrum auction will take place as per new policies and companies will have to pay separately for license and spectrum. So it will increase the cost burden and they will not be able to offer cheap services.
This judgment by Honorable Supreme Court doesn’t have any impact on old players like Airtel, Vodafone, Reliance etc. But one more thing is, TRAI is recommending a one time fee for spectrum beyond 4.4 MHz and if it gets final old operators will also bleed more.
Licenses of old operators are going to expire in next 3-5 years and they will also have to pay again for new license and also separately for spectrum like Bharti Airtel got license in 1995 and it will expire in June 2014. So overall it will highly impact older companies and tell upon their balance sheet.
But new operators will not have to pay extra till 2028. So all have advantages and disadvantages in one or other way.
Rama February 4, 2012 at 11:24 am
The network which didnt not went for 3G auction will not hike the rates
Thats for sure
and 2G auction will be a Big fail
only spectrum auction will fetch money to the Govt , and then this big players will not cry that they dont have spectrum to provide good service
Common man will win in the end

Rajive Borde February 3, 2012 at 7:54 pm
True, see investment by Vodafone Plc and Maxis (aircel) safe and not problem for them even Vodafone earning well from Indian market.
Supreme Court verdict is against the corruption and all 122 licence given to the operators out of the way who bribe the A Raja and systems.
Operators like Uninor, SSTL-MTS, Loop, Etisalat etc never think that time to bribe A Raja and now crying !! They applied for the licence with in 45 min of issuing the release which was suspicious and clearly showing the game behind that (Read full SC verdict).
SC did not cancel any licence issued from 2001 to 2007 so its clear operators who take licence in 2008 at price of 2001 are also in faults and indulge in A Raja’s 2G ghotala.
Amit February 3, 2012 at 7:39 pm
Ya for timebeing this can be true, but if we consider the case of Vodafone, any mnc can think that There money and investment is really safe in India if they have followed all the rules and regulations
RDB February 3, 2012 at 7:25 pm
At current situation global players like AT&T will not invest in Indian 2G market which is near to saturated – subscriber addition is falling every month. Also already multi national telecom players – Batelco, Etisalat, Sistema and Telenor is hit by the SC verdict it simply proves no investment is safe in India.
Amit February 3, 2012 at 4:03 pm
Quality requires Cost.. thats true, but we are already paying the cost for qualtiy, thats the other thing we are not geting the quality or rahter say telcos are not providing the quality inspite of charging heavy.
So operators Like AT&T / Sprint are required…
Prashoor February 3, 2012 at 3:28 pm
We aren’t using any of these operators who are penalized.
If some one or other is using Videocon, than its for value added services(Which are still not satisfactory at all) or Aircel(Which relies on TATA DOCOMO for its network at roaming base).
I was expecting that what services Uninor and MTS were going to provide(And how will they change our telecom market).
But now after this big decision, I feel that we will be reliying on incumbent operators like !dea, AirTel, Vodafone, Reliance and Docomo, here fo more time.
Some one stated here that he is waiting for AT&T, I am sure that with quality comes cost(which we are already paying). Lets hope for the best..
Amit February 3, 2012 at 2:55 pm
Yes, if price are already rising then why not to pay to the best one.
krishnendu February 3, 2012 at 2:22 pm
yes!we need quality if prices are hiking!already biggies like vf are charging 90p for landline
Amit February 3, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Eagerly Waiting for AT&T Mobile operator in Indian.
They have world class technology, better than vodafone.
Hope they will take benifit from the next auction. I would love to see At&T logo on my mobile screen….

supreme court judge Mr. ganguly after delivering the titanic verdict rightly said on his superannuation that due to inefficient policies of government courts in india are forced to get involved in cases from birth to last rituals,sometimes either govt. is not capable of resolving issues other times they are not willing to resolve issues.
Hard hitting statement from a hard hitting judge
thank u sir for re instating country’s faith in our judiciary……..hope special judge O.P.Saini does the same in Mr. home minister’s case………

Yes we can easily port our number.But what would be our tariff??now we are enjoying most economical tariff like 1/2p/1s or 30p/1m and onnet free call without recharging any pack with life time validity from MTS.Can we enjoy same tariff after porting my number?Will other operator give us the same facility?Answer is NO.Then we have to go for higher tariff.Nobody is thinking this matter.SUPREME COURT/TRAI/GOVERNMENT have to take the step, for that we will continue with same tariff from other operator and have to protect the affected customer what ever the number is 5% or 10%.Customer should not been penalized for the wrong policy of the government.
Rama February 3, 2012 at 8:52 am
There will be No price rise bcoz of the auction…
Let me explain U..
1) now everybody has a mobile connection So the growth will be not as much as when AT&T or other foreign company came in 2007 or 2008..
2)Docomo operates on TAtas license and they brought the 1p/s scheme So they will not be increasing the rates..
3) why will any new company come in the auction bcoz the per person income on 2G spectrum is the lowest and they will not gain..
4) This is the MAin—– 4G license and spectrum will be auctioned So what will u buy as a business person 4G which can give u Data + voice or just 2G which will give u Voice and data(less bandwidth)..
Now u r the One who shld decide

Telenor Norway pulling out of their partnership with Unitech is the first casualty. Hope that the company lives on, although the greed of the Indian partner had already soured relations between them and this was like the last straw on the camels back

yes global telecom operators like AT&T and others will enter into the fray in the next auction. We want the competition to be atleast 6- 7 operators per circle as otherwise Airtel and Vodafone will increase the tariff as they want.
Raghu February 3, 2012 at 1:07 am
@Abhijit
Yes i agree with you on this. those 4 licenses -MTS,Uninor,Idea,Docomo will not be cancelled. they will pay more and enter into the fray of auction

i think supreme court should have charged existing companies to provide excess fees as per auction norms rather than cancelling their licences, sometimes court also bhaves in arbitary fashion , this move has only created more confusion in market and hurt the consumers
RDB February 2, 2012 at 7:38 pm
@AsitPaul
NDA govt policy was first come first serve, if it is faulty one why UPA did not change in the policies?
why UPA govt did not hike the price of 2G spectrum, instead they sold it on 2001′s rate?
blaming others does not work here.
see the results of auction in 3G services – operators are in debt, 3G tariff is high and people can not use it due to high cost. And there is zero competition as all pvt operators are offering more or less same tariff.
saurabh gupta February 2, 2012 at 7:35 pm
companies will definetly increase terrif it will be nearly 50-100% due to such a high spectrum cost they are valuing 2G spectrum at more then 3G cost is it logical…………
WiMAX February 2, 2012 at 7:33 pm
tata docomo is not effected by cancel of licences,,because SC cancelled their licenses where they not starts any service,, so i am happy with tata docomo,, and it is also good for those who use tata docomo,, enjoy with tata docomo,, don’t worry at all,
saurabh gupta February 2, 2012 at 7:28 pm
our respectable(sounds funny) telecom minister says its not their fault they have given licences on the lines on NDA government we just follow their policies so original scam is of NDA means licences in 2008 at the prices of 2001
but the real thing is at that time mobile was not popular and most of the people even don’t know what the mobile is and those who know were not able to afford it due to high call rates and less network coverage so to promote mobile telephony NDA govt gives licences at 1651 crore which was a huge amount in 2001 considering very low penetration high handset cost less awareness and lots of uncertainities
and even if they have done everything wrong why are you on that post if you can’t judge what is right and what is wrong if you have to just blindly follow what others say there is no need of post like telecom minister
AJESH February 2, 2012 at 7:19 pm
This verdict of SC creats an uncertinity in customers mind.
If the govt is planing for new auction proces,
definitly they should consider the customers conserns.
I mean there should be some conditions regarding the rates as
max std on net @ 1p/1s
max std off net @ 2p/1s.
max local on net cals @ 1p/2s.
max Local offnet @ 1p/1s
max data rate (30KBPS or 256Kbps) @ RS100/1GB.
The companies should be given freedom to decrease it, but not to increase it.
I sugest that the govt should fix a maximum rates,
beyond which the companies should not be allowed to charge from its customers.
am i right???.
saurabh gupta February 2, 2012 at 7:15 pm
i want to ask one thing from my telecomtalk friends if this money was obtained directly through aauction then applied to govt welfare schemes and you all knoww how much money reaches actually for the cause coming to main point of loss to the government in revenues terms every operator pays 6-10% of its revenue in the name of spectrum usage charge 10% service tax other taxes also and giving employment oppertunity directly and indirectly to millions helped in providing mobile to nearly half of indian population which is connected to financial system the amount they lost in lumpsum is already recovered in the form of different taxes only problem is operators like LOOP VIDEOCON ETISLAT who did not started their operation on time and wasted the scares resource and opportunity of getting tax from its revenue if call rates remained high it has not reached in so many people and they would not have use this services so less revenue on regular basis please think friends don’t comment blindly yes i admit that there were irregularity in alloting licences specially in the case of SWAN and Unitec and some other but they were all due to dirty politics no body wants to give bribe but businessmen wants to flourish his business if all the policies are transparent then there will be no problem root cause is corruption and still congress governing the country even after so much scams its all our fault that we select wrong person wrong party
AsitPaul February 2, 2012 at 7:08 pm
Have you seen the press conference of Kapil Sibal?
He denied any scam. He said that, they followed the policy of NDA Govt First Come Basics!
He added that, if First Come First Get policy was correct, then no loss of revenue! But, if it was not correct, then its loss!
Sibal thinks that press and common citizens are fools and dont realise the great scam!
Raja and all his associates and the leaders of corrupt party should be hanged till death!
But, its India.
Where 99.9 % are corrupt, from Postmaster to Prime Ministers Office!
God Save Us.

move to docomo dude… docomo is not affected in tn
@siva
Abhijit February 2, 2012 at 5:15 pm
I think Videocon,Cheers & Loop will exit as they have not properly roll out there networks until yet!!! And Videocon is using Tata Docomo at most circles & Loop in Mumbai circles.. And also Videocon is a always in minus figure of MNP statistics that is shown periodically on Telecom talk…
Uninor, MTS ,Tata Docomo & Idea has decent subscriber base in particular license canceled area so they will pay more and participate in auction and retain there services as usual as it is at present…
Benny February 2, 2012 at 5:14 pm
u r wrong… TD lost only 3 circles, that too not so lucrative ones
Raghu February 2, 2012 at 5:14 pm
i think this will pave way for increase of rates by Airtel and Vodafone.
Jeet February 2, 2012 at 5:12 pm
One of the effects of the cancellation may be that RIL led by Mukesh Ambani can make re-entry in the telecom business by buying PAN India licenses like they did in BWA auctions.
Saurabh February 2, 2012 at 4:55 pm
But, suppose there are 2 staffs in a company & 1 is fired (due to any reason).
That fired person will be affected 100 %.
Same is here.
Small group is affected, but that will be affected 100%.

kingston February 2, 2012 at 4:28 pm
Cancellation is a stupid judgment. Instead of that ask the operators to pay more money. In tamilnadu, We are enjoying cheap call rates with UNINOR and VIDEOCON. So my request is “increase their spectrum fee. Don’t cancel that”. Cancellation should increase the call rates.
Saurabh February 2, 2012 at 4:19 pm
Pahle Raja…..
Uske bad Chidambaram…..
Ab……Kapil, Manmohan & Sonia ki bhi bari aayegi
Company ki galti toh hai, lekin us se bhi jyada galti en netao ki hai.
Aur en netao ka kuch hoga bhi nhi, 2-3 sal jail mei mauj karke shan se bahar aa jayenge
Supreme court ko lesson hi dena hai toh, en netao ko phasi dena chaiye, taki koi future mei itne responsible post pe rah kar aisa na kare.
Last, but not the least- License ko cancel karne se pahle & bad Supreme court ne customers k bare me kya socha ?
According to License agreement (for 20 years), perhaps (if I am not wrong),it is right of customers to take their service till the end of license.
aa February 2, 2012 at 4:15 pm
Good decission taken supreme court , But Call tariff up i think.
Riju February 2, 2012 at 4:11 pm
Vodafone also have some problem.Because They are using MTS license, spectrum & network for providing Net cruise service(MTS Mblaze).
Kapil February 2, 2012 at 4:11 pm
nice move by sc.
aircel also involved in 2g scam but no verdict of aircel.
no effect for me i m using loop mobile(mumbai).

velu,Advocate February 2, 2012 at 3:27 pm
@sAM
it is not a stupid Judgment. if you on right way you will not be affected. Raja arbitrarily changed the last date for the application. this is the main reason for the cancellation. if u give bribe and get the license this is the fate. so we should respect the law. think how the AT&T and other big names did not get the license. how some companies take DD for 1000 cr rupees in one before the last date announced.
You are applying for UPSC. the last date for Civil service exam is 21.03.2011. if they change the date suddenly 15 days before you will accept it? this is happened here.
sAM February 2, 2012 at 3:18 pm
Oh my God !!
Both of d two operators i’m using got licenses cancelled..!!
Kunal February 2, 2012 at 3:13 pm
So does that mean loop mobile which operates only in mumbai circle has lost the license???? Idea, MTS will regain back thier license by paying the resp amts, the rest can go for merger n all !!!
swarup sen February 2, 2012 at 3:11 pm
I think now ,we pay more paisa for calling .Because the oporeter buy license between 4 months .

@Hiren Trivedi
Hi, while that may be correct, it is of limited concern. Remember that the back end backbones of the mobile networks is by Ericcson & Huweai which are both foreigners as is Vodafone and AT&T has stake in Idea. India never had the capacity to build or operate the networks or the manufacturing ability to do this.

no bro aircel is not affected i checkd times of ind,redif,nd many news chanels except ht all r showing dat aircel is nt affectd.EVEN TT SAYS D SAME …ND TT IS ALWAYS RITE..
Zeeshan February 2, 2012 at 2:08 pm
22+21+21+15+6+21+9+3=118. What about other 4 licences.
Hiren Trivedi February 2, 2012 at 2:00 pm
people who favor UNINOR and ETISALAT think that they are also service provider in Pakistan think about security of country too.

Tata has no market in NE, They have only less than 1000 customer base
Jagan T February 2, 2012 at 1:55 pm
+1. Yes this this is going to happen.
Videocon, Loop, Cheers are going to eaten by the CARTEL
Uninor, MTS, Docomo goin to pay higher fee or loopholes to survive.
Idiotic policies, Blood sucking Politicians, Looting Corporates – God please save this country.
KHB February 2, 2012 at 1:51 pm
hey headlines today news showing dat even aircel is affected
manish February 2, 2012 at 1:48 pm
@manish
aircel is the luckiest operator as they procured licences before jan 10 2008,another operator that lost is MTS tat nearly lost all circles…:D
manish February 2, 2012 at 1:44 pm
tata only lost 3 circles licence(J&K,NOrtheast,Assam)..in which they wer not even alloted spectrum for GSM….so no lose for Tata GSM…if UAS also includes CDMA…then they will lose many customers as northeast is a good TATA CDMA market….to my valuation IDEA and uninor will be the biggest losers as they had emerging markets…and they lost most circles….if ther is a re auction…thes 3 operators will mostly regain their circles….
dhanesh February 2, 2012 at 1:40 pm
vey correct .customers dont port to airtel,vodafone and ide@proximus
Durga February 2, 2012 at 1:37 pm
sc should give another desesion to other telecom company like vodafone & airtel that they shoudn’t rise there phone bill.
dhanesh February 2, 2012 at 1:35 pm
no aircels license has been cancelled in kerala circle
anuj February 2, 2012 at 1:34 pm
serious players like uninor, idea and tata who lost licenses will try to recover them in any case and more bribe would be paid for that and bigger scam will happen.
cartel companies like airtel, vodafone meanwhile try their best unethical practices and hike tariffs insanely because of reduced competition.
all this will happen because this is INDIA.
god please save this country.
Esmail February 2, 2012 at 1:33 pm
Idea, Tata, Uninor, MTS will be re allotted their licenses to operate in their respective circles after TRAI having extorted insane sums of money from them, which they will unwillingly pay up since their subscriber base graph is rising upwards at the moment and they wouldn’t want to loose that. Etisalat, Stel, Videocon, and Loop Telecom will most probably not be able to pay up these sums of money demanded by TRAI since their subscriber growth curve is going in negative, they might be forced to Quit their operation in the Telecom sector. The regained revoked spectrum from these operators might be re opened for auction by TRAI using the so called Fair means and policies. There are prying scavengers like Reliance Infotel waiting for this, who will pump in the capital to acquire pan India 2G license, so that they can launch their own Voice over LTE for Pan India operation using CSFB technology, without having to partner with Reliance communication for their 2G backbone.
KHB February 2, 2012 at 1:29 pm
I m glad that aircel is clean operator
Fahad February 2, 2012 at 1:27 pm
They do have licences but without spectrum at many places….
take an eg of uninor…. In j&k they have the license but with limited spectrum.. Thats they have spectrum for 2 districts only… Out of say 12 districts…
Sourav February 2, 2012 at 1:23 pm
What will happen to customers of cancelled licences? Should we port out now?
Sanjay Bafna February 2, 2012 at 1:23 pm
Supreme Court has allowed all telecom operators to operate with scrapped licenses for next 4 months and TRAI will comes up with a new way of giving these all 122 licenses again. So your operator (if in that list) can take that 2 continue the services.
anuj February 2, 2012 at 1:17 pm
Overall a good judgement against corrupt companies. The only thing is that my heart goes out for Uninor which was offering the best plans for the customers.
Raghu February 2, 2012 at 1:16 pm
yes it is a shocking news. what will happen to the customers of those operators whose license have been cancelled.
Pune February 2, 2012 at 1:14 pm
Now what any clue..?
Saurabh Jain February 2, 2012 at 1:07 pm
It is good decision. Not good for consumer but for future to come. It lays the foundation of clean and good policy.
What will happens next i even do not know. Have to ask some lawyer regarding what will these companies do to protect its interest
sri February 2, 2012 at 1:06 pm
As per my understanding “Nothing will Hapen” and every one will be in business as usual.
Follow TATAs, they know loopholes very well and the others follow ( As in recent 3g roaming)
sAM February 2, 2012 at 1:05 pm
Cancel all sorts of wireless licenses..
Only favour BSNL for landline services..
And finally STOP PRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATION IN TELECOM INDUSTRY….
Sandeep Thapa February 2, 2012 at 1:04 pm
Indeed a Shocker News
But what has the Operator Done…. A corrupt country with Corrupt Official Rules India…..
Instead of Ousting Telecom Operators, they must throw the Political Parties associated with the Individualys Out of Politically Judiciary.
Its a Public Mockery…. Lakhs of Telecom Proffessional will be forced to Leave…. Jobless People……… No Jobs

Singh February 2, 2012 at 1:00 pm
Confusing .
Cancel all 3G licences also.3G is a failure in India.
Forget 4G.
zeeshan February 2, 2012 at 12:55 pm
tata docomo do not have licences for north east, Assam and JK.
Ganesh February 2, 2012 at 12:51 pm
The cancelled licenses include three of Tata Teleservices, 21 of Videocon, 22 of Uninor, 9 of Idea Cellular, 6 of Stel, 13 of Etisalat DB, 21 of Loop, and 21 of MTS.
sAM February 2, 2012 at 12:50 pm
What a stupid judgement by Supreme Court !!!!
What will happen to millions of employees and other stakeholders of those companies ??
What will happen to all subscribers ??
Now it looks that even Supreme Court is also in favour of d cartel-trio..
Everyone is good except A.Raja ?? …..BLUNDER OF D MILLENIUM……
shubham February 2, 2012 at 12:50 pm

Lohit February 2, 2012 at 12:25 pm
@Vimal G Kumar

Ramesh Darji February 2, 2012 at 12:22 pm

A lesson should also be taught to those people who exploits and twist the government policies by unfair means which otherwise would have increased the public fund which can in turn be used for the development of the country.
Any wrong doing can not be justified just because it will cause hardship and huge losses to wrong-doers as such type of hardships are not undue but they have invited. This Judgment has set an example.

totally wrong and unfair court hasn’t taken care of millions of customers and billions of money invested this is the dead end of the golden story of telecom space because you can not expect airtel vodafone idea cartel to work honestly without competition they will decide the terrif on their own and only loss is to the consumers only……… totally biased decision only favouring the cartel
Kaushik Roy February 2, 2012 at 12:13 pm
END OF UNINOR
Anand Kumar February 2, 2012 at 12:11 pm
Now the call rates will go up. Good move by Court but what about the users?? Should they move to other operators??
Nilakshi Singh February 2, 2012 at 12:08 pm
Nothing will happen. Go and buy the shares of these companies. After sometimes they will get licences again and you will get benefit.
Jeet February 2, 2012 at 12:04 pm
I agree that the cancellation of 122 licences creates confusion among the subscribers and the telecom companies whose licences are revoked as they have made huge investments based on the licences. But on the other hand, a lesson should also be taught to those people who exploits and twist the government policies by unfair means which otherwise would have increased the public fund which can in turn be used for the development of the country. Any wrong doing can not be justified just because it will cause hardship and huge losses to wrong-doers as such type of hardships are not undue but they are invited. This Judgment has set an example. But… our politicians are very intelligent. I am sure that they will definitely find a way out and will squeeze even more unfair advantages from these companies and… story goes on and on… unfortunately this happens only in India…
Hiren Trivedi February 2, 2012 at 11:54 am
what about users?
please mentioned circle and operator detail whom Licences has been cancelled
sujai February 2, 2012 at 11:49 am
a nice judgment
it is a lesson for companies using backdoor
jainodin February 2, 2012 at 11:48 am
these companies will engage GOOD LAWYERS and can obtain STAY to the operation this judgement by way of filing reviewe-petition!
Everything will be repularized by the govt. within next 4 months.
Amendment in enactment is the powerful by-pass available to the govt.
naveen February 2, 2012 at 11:47 am
It is a great victory for so CARTEL of OLD OPERATORS NOW, AIRTEL IDEA VODFONE who are going to loot all the porting subscribers
Lohit February 2, 2012 at 11:43 am
in which circles have licenses of idea and tata been cancelled
arun kumar February 2, 2012 at 11:42 am
a very good move… A warning to corrupted corperates
