Vasuki,
I'm not sure if there is agreement among CR stations about this. I'm sure if
one was to do a survey about this (literally pick up the phone and ask CR
stations about their stand) a clear picture will emerge. I believe, in informal
discussions, many campus stations don't really have an issue with the spectrum
fee hike.

What will/can the government do if all the 140 odd stations decide to continue
to broadcast without paying the spectrum fee? Will they shut down all the
stations?
Like they say in Hindi 'Laaton ke bhoot baaton se nahi mante'.
I think all the stations should simply refuse to pay any spectrum fee and
continue to broadcast.
Warm regards
