Govt set to slash license fees on wired broadband

Such a move would cut home broadband costs and drive operators such as Reliance Jio Infocomm, Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. to aggressively expand their networks and boost broadband availability. DoT currently earns about Rs 900 crore annually as licence fees from broadband services, which is paid by operators at 8% of their adjusted gross revenue.
