Poll code to delay spectrum trading: Montek

March 07, 2014 22:24

Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia today said operationalisation of the Model Code of Conduct would delay spectrum sharing and trading by three to four months though the government had in principle approved the concept.

"The government has accepted that spectrum trading is good thing. I believe TRAI has put some guidelines. The Telecom Commission is yet to pronounce its verdict on it. This might get delayed because the Model Code of Conduct is in place by 3-4 months," he said while speaking at a seminar on the telecom sector.
