Mumbai:
The department of telecom (DoT) is going ahead with
the recommendations of the Telecom Regulatory Authority
of India (TRAI) on auctioning 3G spectrum with a reserve
base price.
The next generation 3G mobile services will enable
operators provide seamless services for applications
like internet browsing, mobile TV, e-mails, video
streaming etc.
Amid reports of a possible delay in release of spectrum
by the defence forces, DoT is quite positive to the
recommendations submitted by the telecom regulator
on the auction of 3G spectrum, sources said.
Cellular operators, meanwhile, are opposed to implementing
TRAI's current recommendations, which they consider
as a return to the earlier licensing regime when telecom
companies bid higher for licences.
A panel of expert s, which is currently working on
finalising the allocation
of 3G-spectrum policy for telecom companies, is expected
to come up with its findings on 3G allocation and
pricing by the year-end.
