Only affected telcos should rebid: Uninor

Tlecom firm Uninor that lost all ofits 22 2G licences following the Supreme Court's verdict last week on Mondayproposed that there should be a fair auction where only those players who gotlicences in 2008 should be included.

"The auction needs to among the new players involvingparties who were in 2008," Sigve Brekke, managing director, Uninor said.

"Last time it was very clear that the policy of thegovernment was to increase competition so the (then) incumbents were notinvited. This time it needs to be in the same spirit, the incumbents should notbe invited," he added.

Brekke added that the company's operations were in fullswing and that Uninor is upset with rumours about closure of its services.
