The CVC has now raised questions over DoT’s recent norms on license as well as spectrum issues and wants DoT to furnish replies before January 24 followed by ministry officials appearing before it by January 28.

The CVC wants to know reasons behind allocation of spectrum beyond 6.2MHz and reasons for not auctioning the spectrum beyond 6.2MHz.

The CVC has also raised questions on two of DoT’s decisions made in 2002. The first one raises question on the continued practice to allot spectrum upto 10MHz and the other raises concern on DoT decision to allot spectrum upto 8MHz if the operator’s subscriber base touched 5 lakhs.

It asked DoT why it has followed a uniform spectrum policy for all the circles where as in reality India is a country with diverse geographical conditions and population density.
