Trai suggests a massive hike in 2G spectrum fee Top
Pegs 2G at 53% of 3G price; will cost telcos Rs 24,700 crore. Telecom companies — both new operators and incumbents — will have to pay an additional Rs 24,700 crore, if the government agrees to the recommendations of a report by a Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) panel.

Why S-Band is so valuable Top
The S-Band spectrum has been a bone of contention between terrestrial mobile phone service providers and backers of satellite mobile services for the last few years, according to letters exchanged by interested groups with agencies such as the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India and the Wireless Planning and Coordination Authority. Terrestrial mobile phone operators have been insisting that the"2.5 -2.69 GHz band (S-Band) be fully preserved as an extension band for 3G services". Source
 
Report: India's Spectrum-Allotment Process was "Wrong" Top
A retired judge examining the allocation of telecom licenses and bandwidth by India's Department of Telecommunications from 2001 to 2009 has said all procedures adopted since 2003 were "wrong," including the first-come-first basis for allotment, the federal communications minister said. Communications Minister Kapil Sibal, while briefing reporters about a report submitted by former Supreme Court judge Shivaraj V. Patil, also said the procedures adopted from 2003 were against the decisions and opinion of federal cabinet and the telecom regulator taken in October 2003. Source
 
TRAI suggestion disastrous, say mobile operators Top
While the government can rejoice on the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) recommendations on pricing of the 2G spectrum, mobile operators, particularly old ones, have all the reason to worry as they will have to pay hefty amounts for spectrum they are holding or have asked for. This would not only hit the earnings of telecom companies, but may also force them to hike tariffs to cover up for the outgo. Source

Mobile Number Portability Off to a Flying Start in India Top
India's telecom regulator Tuesday said about 1.71 million cell phone users opted to change their service provider through the newly launched mobile number portability service as of Feb. 5. Analysts fear the service could further intensify competition and drag prices even lower. Mobile number portability, or MNP, lets cell phone users change their service provider while retaining their number. The service was introduced in the northern Indian state of Haryana on Nov. 25 and was extended across the country from Jan. 20. Source
 
Mobile number portability flops in India Top
