Hi, I must say, an interesting blog indeed! I myself am a telecom analyst with Angel Broking. Keep it up! Just a question, where did you get the spectrm allocation to operators table from?
I compile data from various sources – TRAI, Annual Reports and my own collection of Archive. Most of the times its from TRAI with some refinements.
Hi,
Informative data. Do you have anything on the waitlist for spectrum in different circles and also spectrum availability. Would be good to know how many more players can launch service in different circles.

Varun:
Reliance GSM, Idea Cellular and Aircel will all start operations ASAP.
End of 2009 or early 2010 you may also see – Datacom, Unitech-Telnor and Swan-Etisalat rolling out their operations as well.
Hi,
Request an update on the above chart. Request your inputs on the same.
Warm Regards
The most authentic source of spectrum information is available in WPC’s website. Heres the link:
http://210.212.79.13/othertelecom_operators.asp
However, the values given by them are for sure incorrect as I work with an operator and I know it is incorrect.
Chetan’s compilation is more accurate in that sense. Chetan, I would still like to know how you arrived at these figures and if you could provide the source data.
can you say the any future network in tamilnadu.?????????????????????
please send to me what is the cost of 1g and 2g allocation.???
There is no 1G allocation. But 2G allocation was done at various points of time at various prices. If you search through the posts on this blog you will be able to find it. Also there was no auction for 2G [aka 2.5G]
Hi,
May i have help from anyone for having frequency range for all operators in India. for example on which frequency reliance telecom or vodafone have??? waiting for having this information as it is very complecated structure in India for each state…is there any chart for frequency allocation for each operator???
Do the figures show the total frequency allocated for uplink + downlink or just one sided link?
Northern Railway is implementing GSM-r mobile Radio System from Palwal(Haryana) to New Delhi- Ambala- Amritsar- Jammutawi Route. There is heavy interference from other operators of GSM. Pl suggest the action before we proceed to WPC.
