The meeting will cover topics like new licensing norms and the new telecom policy. Operators are also likely to take up issue of one-time fee and 3G roaming as well.

 

3G roaming has been in news on account of the dispute between telecom operators and the department of Telecom. DoT had asked operators to cancel roaming agreements between the telcos. The dispute is now being reviewed in the telecom tribunal TDSAT.

 

Spectrum pricing is also expected to figure prominently in the meeting. Operators had earlier recommended auctioning 2G spectrum. This has been followed by the telecom commission recently recommending auction for discovering 2G spectrum prices.
