Policy & Regulation
RSS FeedsThe Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has decided to recover telecom-related dues of around Rs 55 billion from Idea Cellular ahead of the Vodafone India-Idea Cellular merger.
India’s digital profile and footprint are fast changing with growing digitisation and digitalisation of services. The country has over 1 billion mobile phone users and digital identities, and half a billion internet users.
In its effort to ensure higher proliferation of high-speed rural broadband across the 250,000 gram panchayats, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) will soon issue a revised tender inviting bidders to set up more public Wi-Fi hotspots in every gram panchayat.
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has received legal opinion on the issue of raising demand for dues pertaining to one-time spectrum charges on administratively-allotted radiowaves to Vodafone India, which is in the final stage of the merger process with Idea Cellular.
