Tikona faces a penalty of Rs 2.5 crore for delay in roll-out in Rajasthan

The delay in network roll-out of wireless broadband service in Rajasthanwhile clearing its spectrum deal with Bharti Airtel which has bought the company has cost dearly to Tikona, as the DoT has imposed a penalty of Rs 2.5 crore.


Tikona could complete the rollout with a delay of three months. Hence, the Department of Telecom (DoT) has imposed the penalty using its discretionary powers as per the rules similar to 3G networks.

According to the Broadband Wireless Auction rules of 2010, all the successful bidders are required to complete network roll out for BWA services within five years of effective date of spectrum allocation, failing which the spectrum can be withdrawn by the DoT.
