Trai backs sale of all available spectrum, proposes lower entry barriers
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on Tuesday recommended that all available spectrum across bands ranging from 600 MHz to 26 GHz be put on the block. The allocation should be for a validity period of 20 years and carried out at the licensed service area (LSA) level, it said.
Trai has also asked the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to initiate steps to take back spectrum held by telecom service providers undergoing insolvency proceedings under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, and include those airwaves in the upcoming sale.
