Telecom Tiger Correspondent reports that the Supreme Court (SC) has passed an interim order exempting telecom operators to pay licence fees taking into account revenues from non-telecom services as well. The order is pending a final decision by the court. The background to this is a petition which was filed in 2003 by two telecom industry associations AUSPI and COAI, in the the TDSAT wherien the TDSAT held that the levy on a licence fee on operator’s telecom as well as non-telecom revenues by the DOT was illegal. Subsequently the DOT in 2006-7 went in appeal to the Supreme Court from where interim orders have been continuing.
