Let the 3G game begin

August 1, 2008 By Kunal Gangar Leave a Comment

The infamous 3G spectrum fable got a new turn today. Government of India has announced that Indian telecom as well as global telecom players are eligible to bid for the spectrum. The global telecom segment actually comes with a caveat that they must have some international 3G expertise. So what if they don’t have any experience? Collaboration in sight?

That’s not all. The 3G scene is gonna be competitive because of the number of players in each circle except Mumbai and Delhi is restricted to 10. This means more money for the government to burn. Around Rs. 40,000 crore is expected from this auction. Lastly, the state-owned operators, MTNL and BSNL do not have to bid for the auction and they can get the spectrum as soon as they pay the amount equal to the highest bidder.

No 3G spectrum for CDMA operators

July 8, 2008 By yogen Leave a Comment

Department of Telecom has scrapped its plans to auction 3G spectrum for CDMA operators even as it is close to finalizing the policy for 3G services for GSM operators.

Reliance Communications, Tata Teleservices, Shyam Telelink and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd are the major CDMA operators in the country which were supposed to auction for 3G services. But DoT has blocked this option on the grounds that it will clash with the spectrum of GSM players, thus leaving 71 million CDMA subscribers face an undecided future with regard to the availability of third generation mobile services.
