In July, the Cabinet had referred the matter to E-GoM. Later the E-GoM had deferred a decision on the matter till the outcome of Presidential Reference.
Following the Supreme Court's opinion on the Presidential Reference, the Government is now free to take a decision in this regard.
Existing telecom service providers will decide on participating in spectrum auction based on the decision taken by Government on one-time spectrum fee.
The last date for submitting application for participating in spectrum auction is October 19. (ANI)
