DoT has decided to permit US telecom giant AT&T’s Indian subsidiary, AT&T Global Network India, in which AT&T has 74 per cent stake, to provide both NLD and ILD services in the country.
However, it has reserved the right to take action against the company (including cancellation of the licence) if after the ongoing investigations, AT&T is found guilty of evading taxes and operating long distance services without a licence. The rider is being included to safeguard the interests of the government.
