India’s Department of Telecom has decided to award Qualcomm a licence to provide wireless internet services, Dow Jones Newswire reports.
Qualcomm had applied for a BWA licence following a successful bid for spectrum in the circles of Mumbai, Delhi, Kerala and Haryana in June 2010 for US$1bn.
The DoT initially refused to allocate the frequencies on the grounds that Qualcomm was late in filing the application and originally applied for four different licences, which was not allowed according to regulations.
Qualcomm has now reportedly agreed to merge the four local companies into one.
The company was not immediately available for comments.
