Indian Government Not Auctioning Traditional 5G Spectrum
With talks of "timely" 5G roll out in India resurfacing again after a Covid-19 hit year that delayed spectrum auction, there are hopes that the fifth-generation cellular technology could be a reality in the second half of the year, even though various reports suggest that its mass adoption could still be years away.
The government is not selling traditional 5G spectrum in the upcoming auction the bidding for which will commence in March, but a tweak in the notice inviting applications has raised hope that companies will be able to launch 5G even on existing bands.
The amendment reduced the notice time period required for telecom companies to give to make advancements and upgrades in technology from one year to six months.
