In recent past the telecom regulator suggested its views in matter of net neutrality. Now the Telecom Commission (TC) will on 21 February take up these recommendations and allocation of spectrum in two bands that would underpin 5G rollouts.
The telecom secretary Aruna Sundararajan said, “We will take up the regulator's recommendations on the E&V bands on February 21.”
TRAI submitted recommendations which say that E band spectrum be charged at Rs. 10,000 a year per slot of 250 MHz each and that there should be an initial promotional discount of 50% for three years from the date of allocation of the first carrier in this band. For spectrum in V band, the regulator had recommended that it be charged at Rs. 1,000 per annum per slot of 50 MHz each.
The Department of telecommunication (DoT) may allocate spectrum in the bands through auctions.
As a matter of fact, the recommendations from the inter-ministerial group (IMG) to improve the health of the sector, approved by the TC a month ago, and would be taken to the Cabinet soon.
Spectrum in E band (71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz) and V band (57-64 GHz) would inter-connect mobile towers and could spare telecom operators the trouble of laying optical fibre cables, helping them provide last-mile connectivity. Data through E and V band can be transmitted with a speed of around 1,000 MB per second.
