Telecommunications Info-Tech - Outlook Panel on spectrum allocation norm set up Our Bureau New Delhi, Nov. 6 In a bid to arrive at a compromise formula with agitated GSM operators, the Communication Ministry has formed a new committee to review the subscriber linked spectrum allocation criteria specified by the Telecom Engineering Centre. The move comes after existing GSM operators criticised the TEC’s report, which asked operators to pack in more subscribers before they become eligible for additional spectrum. TEC’s report had put out all existing operators out of contention for additional spectrum. The new committee will have representatives from the industry, including Cellular Operators Association of India and Association of Unified Service Providers of India. “A committee is being constituted in DoT to recommend the revision of present ‘Spectrum Allocation Criterion’ to licensed operators based on the subscriber figures etc. in a scientific and practicable manner. “The committee will have outside experts also. The committee will give its report within three weeks for finalisation of spectrum allocation criterion for licensed operators,” an official press release said. The Government had accepted in principle the technical report of TEC on Spectral Efficiency on October 31. However, with the formation of the new committee, further allocation of spectrum to any category shall be determined on the basis of recommendations of this committee and directions of TDSAT, if any. Pending applications for grant of new Unified Access Services licences will be processed as per the existing policy.
