Telcos continue to oppose direct spectrum allocation for private networks
Telecom operators Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea have renewed their opposition to the department of telecommunications’ (DoT) latest move to reassess demand for direct spectrum allocation.
The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), which represents private telecom service providers, maintains that allowing enterprises to directly obtain spectrum for private 5G networks is neither viable nor secure within the Indian context.
