Given how the recommendations of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on as simple a matter as re-auctioning the spectrum of the 122 licences cancelled by the Supreme Court threatens to deal a body blow to the telecom industry, the Telecom Commission has done well to ask Trai to explain its proposals. Instead of dealing with just the 122 licences that were cancelled, Trai went in to a larger look at spectrum policy and even recommended taking back spectrum held by existing operators in the 900MHz band and replacing this with spectrum in the 1800MHz band (‘re-farming’, in jargon). |
