According to a leading news daily, the Indian IT sector is eyeing a huge opportunities in new technologies like social media, mobility, analytics and cloud computing, collectively known as (SMAC). These technologies are expected to garner up to 89% of total IT spending growth in 2014 and up to a quarter of the total business by 2017. These interconnected new technologies currently contribute less than 5% of revenues for large IT firms like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) but are growing at a rapid pace.

In the letter AUSPI has said that the CDMA firms like Reliance Communications and Tata Teleservices are dual technology operators and de-linking the GSM and CDMA spectrum in the 2G auctions would cause them 'irreparable harm'. The Union Cabinet had on December 9 had fixed the pan-India price for the 1,800 MHz (GSM) spectrum at Rs 17.65 bn per MHz per year.
