Vodafone Seeks Allotment

Alleging delay in allocation of airwaves, Vodafone India has asked government to “immediately allot spectrum” for 14 circles secured in the November 2012 auction for which it has already made required payments.

The company has also sought clarification if the 20-year licence period will commence from date of actual allotment of the said spectrum, pending allocation of airwaves.

In a letter to Telecom Secretary R Chandrashekhar, the company said, “We call upon DoT to immediately allot us the spectrum acquired by us through auctions, for which payments have already been made and LoIs (Letters of Intent) were issued.”
