NEW DELHI: A nine-member ministerial panel led by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee may be asked to finalise the payment schedule for successful
bidders of 3G spectrum, after the ministries of finance and telecommunications failed to agree on a timeline, said a government official.

Auctions of third generation spectrum, which have been delayed by close to two years, will be held next month. These airwaves will enable telecom companies to offer high-end services such as high-speed internet, video-conferencing, interactive gaming, mobile TV and high-speed downloads on mobile phones.

The government looks to raise between Rs 25,000 crore and Rs 35,000 crore in the current financial year from the auction of airwaves.
