Sat, 19 Aug 2006 18:23:46 +0000 http://convergence.in/blog/archives/79#comment-2056 [...] If ET is to be believed, then TRAI is proposing Rs85 crores for every MHz of spectrum to offer 3G services. TRAI is considering auctioning the spectrum on European model of Telecom business. Price it for every MHz. For any operator to offer 3G services efficiently then he has to atleast have 5MHz of spectrum. However, recall that, in the past officials and telcos have said that the economics of west can’t be applied in Indian context because of scarcity of bandwidth.  Considering Rs425 crores per circle and 23 such circles in India it will cost operators who want to have PAN India presence a whopping $2.0 Billion to acquire the licenses. Insane ? Ask TRAI [...] [...] If ET is to be believed, then TRAI is proposing Rs85 crores for every MHz of spectrum to offer 3G services.
