In a relief to new operators Telecom Dispute Settlement Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) on Wednesday refused to stay the allotment of spectrum. The TDSAT turned down the appeal of B.K. Modi-promoted Spice Communications which has pleaded that since tribunal would not be sitting for a month on account of summer vacation, it should stay allotment of spectrum till July 3, next date of hearing. Spice’s main contention is that if the spectrum allocation is not stopped then the
re will not be enough left for them.
