Spectrum Auction 2021

[RKhan21]

@iamvish Itseems Operators can pay and get spectrum allocated immediately. Like Jio paid and got B5 immediately and Airtel did B8 in some states

airtel bought 15Mhz B3 in TN, but vodafone idea is holding some of it which will expire in September end only. After VIL's lisence expiration only, airtel would get it for deployment.

Actually Vodafone surrendered it in 2019 itself but DOT is delaying it for no reason. Airtel can pay now itself and get it immediately

B5 have no issues because it's shared from rcom, but B3 is still mysterious. If vodafone surrendered means we will get, else October only

If anything remaining unsold only means airtel and jio can pay and get it immediately but only 1.2mhz B3 left unsold for TN

This is why Reliance Jio still won't get the entire acquired spectrum straightaway

Reliance Jio despite paying Rs 2149.49 crore ahead of time will have to wait for complete allocation of spectrum acquired through recent auction.

Here's why Bharti Airtel still has to wait for bits of spectrum despite paying Rs 157.38 crore ahead of time

Airtel despite paying Rs 157.38 crores in advance for getting unsold immediately available spectrum blocks will end up having to wait to get hands on other spectrum blocks due to delayed availability.

@iamvish Yes sed. 12MHz B3 is with Aircel and RCom. But B5 will be 10MHz soon

For kerala both airel and jio can immediately deploy both b3 and b5 right?

 

[RKhan21]

Yes KL B3 is immediately available

Anyhow jio's new spectrum addition is just a peanut, they will be still adding millions of customers so the speed burst will be for few days only, until VIL dies.

If vodafone surrenders B3 in TN, then there wont be any B3 for VIL? or they have renewed it?
