New Delhi, Sept 19 (KNN) Government has finalised the spectrum sharing guidelines and will notify the same in a few days while the spectrum trading rules, which are also in the last phase of finalisation will be shared by the end of this month”, said Chairman, Telecom Commission and Secretary (Department of Telecom), Ministry of Communications and IT Rakesh Garg.
Addressing the CII Telecom Convergence Summit organised CII here on Friday, he said the guidelines have been finalised in such a way as to promote India as one of the most favoured destination to do business in the telecom industry.
Once these guidelines are notified, telecom operators would be able to share their spectrum holding that will help them in decongesting their networks and provide quality phone call services.
Garg also announced that DoT has decided to allow private players freedom to spread their own optical fibre from the Block level to the various districts and then the villages where there are not more than 2 Pvt players to make the system more robust.
As against this, in the earlier practice, the private player did not have a choice and had to just get connectivity from the nearest point of purchase to the village. The new system will help the private players provide end to end connectivity services to consumers in villages. To attain this, we have also increased our expected spending from Rs 25,000 crore to Rs 75,000 crores, he added. (KNN Bureau)
