Dialling a poor response -
Financial Express
Though the 2G auction is still three weeks away, the initial signs—the number of companies who’ve said they wish to bid and for how many circles—don’t look too good, with the number of bidders below the number of spectrum slots on offer. Which means the government could fall well short of its R40,000 crore target for the year from spectrum charges, both in the 2G auction as well as for the ‘extra’ spectrum that telcos hold.

Verbatim |
 The UPA 2 government was conceived in corruption – and never really recovered from that taint. Right from the day the election results came in, the back-channel negotiations began for the reappointment of A Raja as Telecom Minister to advance the interests of certain telecom majors (in return for illegal gratification). It was an enterprise which set the stage for India’s biggest corruption scandal and virtually set the political tone for the rest of the four years. As subsequent exposes have established, Manmohan Singh and other key Ministers knew full well that mischief was afoot, but pointedly looked the other way. That was the beginning of the slide, and the UPA government in general – and Manmohan Singh in particular – was mortally wounded from that episode. But rather than press ahead with remedial action, the government slid further into the cesspool of corruption.
