TDSAT okays 3G intra-circle roaming


In a major relief to Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular, telecom tribunal TDSAT has upheld their plea to provide 3G intra-circle roaming services, while also quashing the cumulative penalty of Rs.1,200 crore imposed on them by department of telecom.
“We are allowing all the petitions,” said a TDSAT bench headed by justice Aftab Alam.
The bench said that 3G ICR agreement signed by Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular is not violative of licence agreement.
Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular had approached TDSAT against department of telecom order to stop 3G intra-circle roaming agreement under which they had also agreed to acquire customers in area where they did not win spectrum.
