Conduct demonstrations on 10.01.2012

The JAC has given call to conduct demonstrations on 10.01.2012 on the issues of 3G roaming and refund of BWA spectrum amount to BSNL.

It is known to every one now, that Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Tata Teleservices and Aircel were providing 3G services in circles where they have not acquired 3G spectrum. They were providing the service by sharing each others spectrum. This is violation of license conditions and caused huge loss of revenue to the govt. DOT banned this 3G intra circle roaming. One estimation is that, this 3G intra circle roaming has caused Rs.20,000 crore loss to the government. This looting by private companies has to be exposed among the people of this country. 

BSNL has surrendered its BWA Spectrum in most of the circles. Govt. dumped this non-standard spectrum on BSNL. Now money should be refunded to BSNL for the spectrum that BSNL has surrendered. It is expected that BSNL may get around Rs.7000 crore as refund. Both these issues are very important. Circle and District Secretaries are requested to organize the demonstrations powerfully.
