Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Thursday
assured the industry that policy roadmap will be disclosed to them in
advance to help plan better.
The Minister said the
spectrum auctions held in March this year were a test for him as he
worked to introduce good governance and transparency.
While
speaking at an event organised by industry body FICCI, the Minister
said, “I want to convey to the industry that auction of spectrum in the
future too would be conducted in a timely, fair and transparent way
so that there is no cause for uncertainty and ambiguity.”
He
added, “The roadmap will be fully disclosed in advance to that industry
can put its act together in a planned manner.” The last spectrum
auction, the biggest so far, fetched Rs. 1.10 lakh crore to the
government.
Mr. Prasad also pointed out that
state-run BSNL need to improve the services it offers as well as private
players need to fix the problem of call drops. “The public sector BSNL
need to be improved and yes the private players also need to improve in
terms of call drop. A country of the size of India from whom the world
is expecting o much needs to address these areas of gaps,” Mr. Prasad
said.
