Keen on resolving the controversy over the 3G roaming issue, Communications and Information Technology Minister Kapil Sibal on Tuesday said he would soon meet operators to find a way out in accordance with the law.

“Everything in life must be done with discussion and debate. What doesn't happen in Parliament should happen. Even issues with respective industry must all be discussed and debated,” he told journalists outside Parliament. “I will meet with the industry players soon to discuss the 3G roaming issue…they [affected operators] have sought time and I am hopeful of resolving the issue.” Some operators had demanded refund of spectrum auction money if the government failed to clear intra-circle 3G roaming pacts.
