New Delhi:The Telecom Ministry has received replies from all the operators who were issued show cause notices for not meeting the eligibility criteria for licences and will soon decide on action against errants, a top official said. "The replies to all the earlier show cause notices for the cancellation on account of eligibility have been received. While for failure of the roll-out, they (operators) have 60 days to reply," Telecom secretary R Chandrasekhar said on the sidelines of a Ficci event. Last year, DoT had served 119 show cause notices to various telecom operators, of which 85 were for those ineligibile to get licences. "They are currently under examination and we hope in the next couple of weeks to form our final decision," he said.
