Reliance Comm asked to pay price for liberalizing 800 MHz spectrum

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has sought about Rs 5,600 crore from telecom network operator Reliance Communications for liberalizing 800 MHz spectrum in 16 mobile circles, PTI reported.

DoT issued a notice on December 22 and asked the Anil Ambani promoted Reliance Communications to pay within a month.

Reliance Communications applied for liberalizing its 800 MHz spectrum in 20 circles a few months back. Reliance Communications is yet to receive any notice for the remaining four circles, where market determined price is not available.

The four circles are — Kerala, Karnataka, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu. The DoT already sought telecom regulator TRAI’s views on liberalization of spectrum in circles where market determined price is not available.
