Earlier, The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), representing GSM players, had written to DoT asking it to withdraw spectrum allocated to Tata Teleservices Ltd (TTSL) in 18 service areas and put them up for auction. According to AUSPI, COAI is distorting facts and attempting to present a misleading picture before the DoT to sub-serve the vested interests of its members hence the plea should be rejected.
