New Delhi: Government today (Nov 14) allowed Reliance Infocom and Tata Teleservices, who between them have paid over Rs 2,000 crore, to convert their WLL (Wireless in Local Loop) services into fully mobile by amending their existing licences to a single unified licence.

"We have amended Reliance, Tata, Shyam Telecom and HFCL's licences into new unified one...all these players would now be governed by the final guidelines of unified licence regime," Telecom Secretary Vinod Vaish said.

There is no need to issue a new licence to them, he added.

When contacted Ashok Sud, Chief Regulatory Officer of Tata Teleservices said, "The company has received a letter from DoT in this regard."

He said the letter mentioned that the company would no longer be governed by the old service-specific licence in the existing six circles and would now be governed by the terms of new unified service licence in these circles.
