So by when is the additional spectrum allocated to telcos after payment of dues? I am thinking atleast a month?

Jio, Airtel aggressive bids stun industry

Looking at history, Airtel will later shed crocodile tears till the next auction but laugh all the way to the bank.

@socrates yeah a filmfare award should be given to them for the amount of drama put by them before the auction.

Here's what I think Jio will be doing. They will be using B40 for capacity as you know all phones by default lock on to B40 wherever the signal is available due to being the largest band. So, Jio will use 40MHz of B40 in CA along with 10 of b3 and b5 to get these speeds. Say, 600Mbps is possible with a 4CA 800Mbps modem.

Are the TDD configs you told me on TT the same as in this chart? Special config 7 and TDD config 5?

I disabled 256QAM as I believe Jio won't add it so that they can enhance capacity to more devices. I also believe that Jio will keep the upload at 16QAM as it's evident that Jio hates speedy uploads. The crappy upload speed is why I hate TDD.

But anyway, I feel Jio will be bringing Wifi networks with symmetrical speeds on both upload and download.

Jio don't want us to get peak speeds, even 4x4 is useless even if u have 4x4 handset because jio won't give u full peak speeds

I wish the authorities make CA compulsory for phones sold here. Whats the general opinion. Ofcourse whether its practical or not is a different question as we excel in screwed up implementation.

First of all Airtel itself don't have proper CA everywhere. Vi wherever it have atleast 2 bands have CA but Airtel's CA doesn't exist outside cities.
