The Delhi High Court has upheld the government’s decision to revoke ByCell Telecommunications’ Unified Access Service (UAS) licence owing to security concerns.

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) had in May 2009 revoked the approval granted to the company,which is a joint venture company of Switzerland-based ByCell Holding AG and Bitcorp Pvt Ltd,to undertake activities of GSM based cellular telephone services in India.

By a separate communication in the same month,the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB),also withdrew the security clearance given to ByCell for offering mobile telecom services in Assam,Bihar,Orissa,West Bengal and Northeast circles.

The operator’s licence was cancelled in the wake of the Home Ministry’s concerns about ByCell’s shareholding structure and its source of funding and the lack of clarity about the company.
