Bharti Airtel says TRAI's 2G proposals unfair
Bharti Airtel , India's top mobile carrier, said on Wednesday second-generation mobile spectrum pricing proposals by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (TRAI) fails to provide a level playing ground between older and newer operators.


The TRAI has recommended to the government steep increase in prices of 2G spectrum that would also see companies holding more than 6.2 mega hertz spectrum paying a one-time fee for that.


"The recommendations by TRAI goes against the stated principle of the government to offer affordability, fairness and level playing field," Bharti Airtel said in a statement.


Bharti said it was confident that the government would come out with a spectrum pricing policy that is fair and non-discriminatory.
