Delhi HC dismisses COAI petition on dual technology
22 Aug 2008
Mumbai: The Delhi high court has dismissed a petition by GSM mobile phone service providers challenging the government's decision to allow the use of dual technology for mobile phone services and the revised spectrum allocation norms.
The high court also asked the six petitioners, including Bharti Airtel, Vodafone-Essar and Idea Cellular, and their association Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) to pay costs of Rs50,000 each.
The bench of Justice Gita Mittal had reserved the judgment more than five months ago in the high stake matter. The matter is also being heard in the telecom tribunal TDSAT.
The money will be deposited with the Delhi high court's Legal Service Authority.
The COAI had moved court challenging a government directive to provide interconnection to the new GSM service of CDMA operator Reliance Communications.
