 Cellular operators, on the other hand, said they would like to be part of the discussion on unified licence since the move involved violation of their contractual agreement.

 The clarification comes in the wake of an observation made by the Group of Ministers (GOM) on telecom, headed by Finance Minister Jaswant Singh, that basic operators, who were violating the licence norms, were doing it at their own risk.
