Going against the suggestion of the telecom regulator TRAI, the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) is in favour of allocating E and V band spectrum through an auction; TRAI suggested fixed fee. For spectrum in V-band, the regulator has recommended that it should be charged at Rs1,000 per annum per slot of 50 MHz each.
Data through E (71-76 gigahertz frequency and 81-86 Ghz) and V (57-64 Ghz frequency range) band can be transmitted with speed of around 1,000 megabit per second. Spectrum in these bands can ease work of telecom operator from laying optical fibre cable.
According to media reports, the working group on microwave access and microwave backbone at the DoT is largely in favour of allocating E and V band spectrum through auction. The report of the committee will be placed before Telecom Commission in its meeting scheduled for 21 December.
Telecom operators are required to pay huge price for laying OFC to local authorities and frequently maintain it as well.
