Topic Description:
The issue of delicensing E and V telecom spectrum bands has divided industry associations BIF & COAI. The bands are considered optimum for providing mobile broadband back-haul, while its utility for 5G services is also evolving. On September 28, COAI had written to communications minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, reiterating its opposition to delicensing of spectrum in the bands. Reacting to the COAI letter, BIF wrote to the telecom secretary, opposing auctioning of spectrum in these bands as it goes against international best practices and TRAI.
