Government had decided to continue with high pricing of the spectrum by auctions. 4 companies which bid for spectrum have committed to Rs 1.5 lakh crores for the spectrum they acquired.

This, when added to large amounts owed of earlier auctions & payments reduced the number to 3 for private players. Of these, Vodaphone has written off its investment in India, so its in a cautious position.
