The 3G auction may be delayed for another six moths as the Department of Telecom (DoT) will not be able to meet the deadline fixed earlier i. e. December 7, 2009.

As per the news sources, the Defence Ministry has issued a statement to DoT, which said that it would be in a position to release the 20 MHz of spectrum only if it had committed in June 2010 in spite of December 7, 2009.
