ISSUES IN SPECTRUM ALLOCATION
AND PRICING IN INDIA. Radio frequency spectrum is a limited natural resource.
9kHz and 3000 GHz and are being used for 40 differenttypes of services
GSM technology works in the frequency bands of 900 and
1800 MHz in India and CDMA technology works in the 800MHz band. larger number of subscribers requires, either a larger
amount of spectrum or an increase in the number of basestations.
Department of Telecommunications has evolved guidelinesfor the allotment of extra spectrum, based on subscriberbase and roll out. The subscriber-based criteria have beenformulated taking into account demographic characteristicsof different categories of service areas, average traffic persubscriber, number of base stations in a specified area etc.Spectrum is allotted subject to completion of coordinationand availability at a particular location.
