New Delhi, Aug 31 - The government is mulling a uniform licence fee for various services offered by telecom operators, a top official said here Monday.

'The DoT (Department of Telecommunications) is considering implementing a uniform licence fee,' said Telecom Secretary Siddhartha Behura at a conference organised by the Internet Service Providers Association of India.

Telecom operators currently pay between 6 percent and 10 percent of their adjusted gross revenue (AGR) to the government as licence fees for the right to offer telephony and related services.

This move, when implemented, will cover not just mobile and fixed-line phone operators but also those with licences for national and international long-distance phone services and Internet access services.
