Telecommunications ‘TEC norms on subscriber-based spectrum allocation reasonable’ Our Bureau New Delhi, Dec. 18 The committee on spectrum set up by the Communications Ministry has observed that that the subscriber-based allocation norms suggested by the Telecom Engineering Centre were reasonable. In fact, the panel has taken a view that the subscriber numbers could have been much higher if TEC had taken all the efficiency techniques into consideration. “There is definite scope to enhance the existing criterion considerably. The numbers arrived by different assumptions could vary between those given by TRAI, TEC and even much higher than TEC. TEC’s arithmetic calculation is generally correct. The final numbers are being arrived at by the committee which listened to all,” said a DoT official. The final report is yet to be submitted though it may have not impact on the spectrum dispute between operators as GSM mobile companies have dissociated themselves from the panel’s proceedings. The panel was set up after GSM operators had expressed concern at the subscriber-based allocation suggested by TEC for additional spectrum.
