The Union Telecommunications Minister, Mr Kapil Sibal, said mergers and acquisitions should be liberal. There should not be less than six competitors in each circle, including BSNL, he said. Spectrum sharing should be considered, the Minister added.
Licence will be renewed after 10 years and not 20 years like earlier, Mr Sibal said.
He also said a drafting committee for national spectrum Act will be formed under a retired Judge, Mr Shivraj V. Patil
