Govt issues details for Auction of 5 Mhz of 3G spectrum
Government has issued details for auctioning 5 Mhz of 3G spectrum across 17 out of 22 service area at a pan-India base price of Rs 3,705 crore per megahertz. The quantum of spectrum in 2100 Mhz band (3G) being put for auction is 75 per cent less than the quantum recommended by telecom regulator TRAI and demanded by industry.
In the latest amendment to notice inviting application for spectrum auction set to start from March 4, the DoT has said that only one entity will be able to win 3G spectrum in one service area.
