The Hindu Business Line : 3G spectrum not allotted to any operator: DoT

DoT said that low power indoor demonstration of the 3G mobile communication technology and testing of the 3G equipment interface with other existing telecom networks has been allowed for short durations to various equipment vendors, software developers and service providers.

"For this purpose, power level, which is thousand times lower than the normal operational power level has only been allowed and these demonstrations and experiments are limited to the indoor environment. While permitting, it has been specified that such operations should not cause any interference to other operations. Further, no claim can be made by any equipment vendors, software developers and service providers on these trials frequencies or any other part of the 3G spectrum for regular operations/services," said an official press release.

The clarification comes in the wake of reports that state-owned BSNL has been given 3G spectrum ahead of private operators.

DoT said that the issue of allotment of 3G spectrum for commercial operations in the country is currently under the consideration of the Government in consultation with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. No frequencies have been allotted for regular operation so far to any organisation.
