Citing "sources close to the situation," PC World says India's auction of 3G spectrum and licenses to the private sector probably isn't going to take place on January 14, 2010, as originally scheduled.
Disagreements between government ministries over the minimum pricing of licenses have proved problematic in giving the auction the green light. Also at issue are delays by the defense ministry in releasing spectrum in its possession to the communications ministry.
As recently as last week, India's Minister for Communications, A. Raja, said the auction was on schedule for Jan. 14, with allocation of spectrum to winning bidders mostly likely to follow in August. But according to local reports, the 3G auction likely won't happen until at least the end of February.
