Vodafone urges Trai to stop spectrum wastage

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 24 Juli 2013 | 21.43

NEW DELHI: Vodafone India has appealed to Trai to bring a stop to the wastage of telecom spectrum in the country. It has also asked the government body to sort out the issue of lack of alignment between spectrum allocations and charging norms.

Thus, the second biggest telecom operator of the country has asked the market regulator to revert an order that it passed in the spectrum auctions of November 2012.

The telecom company contends that the 1.25MHz allocated block size in the 1800 bands results in operators unwillingly wasting the bandwidth, which has been unintentionally left idle by the government. Therefore, it has asked Trai to bring the block sizes to 200KHz, which can be used for GSM, WCDMA and LTE networks.

Vodafone says this will not complicate the auction in any way but eliminate the said wastage and create a level-playing field in the industry in this regard.

The allocation of 1.25MHz block size results in wastage of a scarce natural resource, says Vodafone. Moreover, it is not in line with the current SUC slabs that were formulated on the basis of a block size of 200KHz for the 900MHz and 1800MHz bands. Since the spectrum allocations and charging approach are not in sync, operators who bought spectrum in the November 2012 auctions have had to pay higher spectrum usage charges compared to rivals. Vodafone purchased additional spectrum in 14 circles in the said period.
