The government had estimated Rs75 billion on account of 3G auction in the budget for last fiscal year, however hiring of local consultant by the Auction Supervisory Committee (ASC) raised serious issues of transparency; this, in turn, mounted pressure on the government to delay the auction and hire an international consultant to ensure transparency in sale of 3G license.

Participation in the auction requires thorough planning, completion of procedural formalities and lining up of large sums of money. Arranging such finances on short notice is not easy, especially in the present global economic scenario.
