Reuters Market Eye - Shares of telecom companies slump as rising prices in the spectrum auction are seen reducing potential profit margins.
Prices for 900 Mhz band mobile phone spectrum in Delhi rose 90 percent from the floor price by Day 5 of the auction, government data showed late on Friday.

Morgan Stanley increased regulatory risk forecast for the sector, saying per MHz pricing has moved up around 38 percent in the spectrum auction.
