Telecom major Reliance Jio has questioned the Department of Telecom’s rationale to pause the policy of annual spectrum auction and demanded that the sale of airwaves should be held at the earliest to meet the demand for data services in the country. Mukesh Ambani-led Jio in a letter dated September 28 to Telecom Secretary Anshu Prakash said that the
nation-building policies should not be kept hostage to the vested interest of few operators and delay in auction is hurting the national exchequer as well as making investors jittery as perceived against the principle of ease of doing
business.
