Enough 3G spectrum for 3 Operators – DoT
With enough spectrum available with the Department of Telecom (DoT), the release of frequencies by the Defence Ministry for auctioning 3G radio waves is not needed at present. DoT has currently an adequate amount to give the initial 5Mhz of spectrum to at least three players in a circle, according to government sources.
Barring Rajasthan on absence of 3G radio waves, the DoT has 3G spectrum available in different amounts in various circles and hence, spectrum availability does not stand as a deterrent to the auction process. To top it up, any release by defence ministry would be treated as an additional gain, which will help in giving spectrum to more players.
