A DoT committee will submit its report in a month on the regulator TRAI's recommended price for the third round of spectrum auction.
The standing committee has been formed under Member Technology at the Department of Telecom (DoT) to give report on Trai's recommendations for the spectrum auction, official sources said.
'The terms of reference of the standing committee states that it shall submit its report on recommendations of TRAI within one month,' the sources said.
'The report of the committee should be comprehensive and bring out the pros and cons of important recommendations,' according to the terms of reference of the committee.
Trai in its recommendations has suggested up to 60 per cent cut in the floor price of mobile phone spectrum for an upcoming auction after two previous sales drew lukewarm response due to high reserve price.
After receiving the standing committee's report, the DoT would place the matter before inter-ministerial body Telecom Commission, sources said. The stand taken by the Telecom Commission will be placed before the Empowered Group of Ministers on spectrum for a decision on the third round of spectrum auction, the source said.
