‘There Is Need For Affordable Spectrum Pricing’: DG, COAI

Most countries that have adopted auction as a mechanism to allocate spectrum, do not have any revenue share such as Spectrum Usage Charges in India. It is important for the Cabinet to relook at the high base price, Lt. Gen. (Retd.) SP Kochhar, Director General (DG), Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) says. Lower reserve price will enable TSPs to work and focus towards fulfilling the objectives of ‘Digital India’, tells DG, COAI to Ashish Sinha of BW Businessworld.
