DoT Seeks Industry View on Licensing Structure Overhaul

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has sought the industry’s views on overhauling the licensing structure, which, if accepted, could turn out to be a radical reform under the new telecom policy.

DoT will engage with industry executives to review the relevance of license fees and spectrum usage charges (SUC) in a scenario where airwaves are auctioned and no longer allotted by the government.
