India’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT) looks likely to revoke licences held by Idea Cellular in six circles, according to the Indian Economic Times. The report cites an unnamed source close the matter as saying: ‘The DoT will soon send notice to Idea Cellular asking them to stop their services in six service areas in Karnataka, Punjab, Maharashtra, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh and Delhi. The department has also imposed a fresh penalty of INR3 billion (USD55.8 million) on the company for missing out rollout obligations.’ Of the six concessions expected to be revoked, two belong to Idea itself – those being for Punjab and Karnataka – while the remaining four are owned by Spice Communications, the mobile operator which Idea agreed to purchase in June 2008.
