Idea Cellular is likely to receive new telecom licenses from DoT, that had earlier refused to accept guidelines related to 3G roaming pacts in the unified license. This new license agreement between DoT and Idea may also incorporate certain clauses proposed by Idea. The telecom operator had earlier refused to sign new telecom permit (Unified Licence) as it barred operators from entering into 3G intra-circle roaming agreement.
Currently, both the companies have agreed to follow the court order with respect to implementation of norms related to 3G roaming pacts in new licenses and the same has been approved by Minister of Communications and IT Kapil Sibal.
