The Telecom Commission has recommended the imposition of a license fee of three percent of the average gross revenue on mobile operators who will provide standalone 3G mobile services in the future. Current 2.5G operators like Airtel and Vodafone will have to pay one percent over and above their present fee when they start offering 3G services.
Apart from this, the commission has also recommended an increase of one percent for slabs up to 8 Mhz and two percent for slabs above 8 Mhz. The decision on imposing a one-time spectrum enhancement fee on the 6.2 Mhz slab has been deferred. The new announcement also sees the introduction of a three-year lock-in period on stake sales and the issuing of a special dividend during the three years.
