Dealing a major blow to the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government the Supreme Court on Thursday cancelled all 122 telecom licences allotted under the 2G spectrum on or after January 10, 2008. While cancelling the licences the Supreme Court ruled that 85 out of the 122 licences were outside the eligibility criteria for allocation.......

Ever wondered how you got Rs. 50 2G/EDGE packs on your mobile? ;)

yup, spectrum was sold for peanuts...but the so-called "loss" is also being exaggerated exponentially.

The verdict is nice.

jobs of thousands of people will go for toss from those telecom sectors.

suicide case may increase for those who have taken loads of PERSONAL LOANS, CAR LOANS on the basis of this employment if they lose it, OR for those running their families on the basis of this job moderately.

current employees of other telecom sectors(not cancelled by SC) will be forced to work more hours WITHOUT ANY PROTEST as thousands will breathe on their shoulders to get a job.

I MAY BECOME A VICTIM OF THIS VERDICT.
