Norwegian mobile operator Telenor's subsidiary, Telewings Communications on Tuesday announced that it received new unified licence for all the six circles where it currently operates. Telewings in its statement said, “We can confirm that new unified licences have been received. This is licence and spectrum for 20 years in the six circles of UP East, UP West, Bihar and Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Goa, Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat.”
The company at present operates under the brand name Uninor which was created under its partnership with real estate firm Unitech. All licences of Uninor were cancelled in February 2012 by the Supreme Court along with 100 other 2G permits. Uninor had to bid for spectrum afresh to continue its operations.
