But we can fix a reserve price, right? In the whole of 2008, the saving grace for Unitech has been the buying of telecom licence. The amt paid by Telenor is too much i think..they have agreed to pay abt 6K crores for 60% stake(so business is approx.10K crores valued) while the market capitalization of a moderately successful company like Idea which is operational is abt 9K crore... Ennamo.. all this is new to me... I see the collusion angle. But we can fix a reserve price, right?

Just saying that license fees will be enough doesn't make sense. Govt. should be making the most of these kind of auctions so as to raise capital for other schemes. But there is another side to it. Last year in AP, when liquor licenses were up for the biennial auctions, after the bidders noticed winning bids go to the tune of 3 crore in some areas of Hyderabad, there was collusion amongst the bidders in Coastal Andhra. Similar thing happened with HUDA land auctions this year, after a couple of years of high winning bids but no one coming up to pay up after winning.

Exactly! Our honble minister says licence fees will fetch more returns for the govt in the long run than auction... That still leaves open the question why they did not insist on lock in period. That way they could've ensured only those serious of starting the business applies for a licence.. curdrice..
