Spectrum Auction 2021

[Bruce_Wayne]

@RKhan21 spectrum will get allocated to airtel by DOT when all payments and formalities completed. It's upto airtel to deploy it...

 

[RKhan21]

@vishal_k What about Jio B3 B40?

 

[Bruce_Wayne]

@RKhan21 even jio will deploy B5 because 5Mhz they will get it, and remaining with rcom so 10Mhz in hand. But B3 still has lengthy time to pass

 

[Bruce_Wayne]

So 20Mhz B3 is still long way for airtel. It's still a mystery whether Vodafone surrendered back the 8Mhz B3, if surrendered means we have some hope, else we need to wait for sure

 

[RKhan21]

No worries will wait for 20MHz FDD, Want 40C and 10MHz B5 soon

BSNL & MTNL should stick with FTTx/Wireless internet services and ditch 2G/3G/4G altogether.

Or they can completely ditch 4g altogether and instead focus their resources building a 5g ecosystem. They already have the largest optical fibre connectivity in india, they only have to leverage it and by the india is 5g ready and they can start directly 5g services along with other private operators.

@vishal_k Instantly means when will it be deployed?

Auction is over, but when will the operators be allotted the spectrum they won?

The provisional results are subject to approval by the Government which reserves the right to change the frequency assignment.

According to ET Telecom, Jio is gonna use B40 20MHz for 5G, whereas the rest of the spectrum will be on b3. b5 and 20MHz of B40. So we should expect shitty 5G speeds on b40 for the time being. After getting 100Mhz of n78, then maybe we will experience some good speeds. I do hope they auction b79 and mmWave bands in the upcoming 5G auction.

i think govt should give 5mhz on 700mhz band free to bsnl pan India.

 

[Tejas01]

Atleast that will help govt earn some revenue instead of lying wasted. I doubt they would be given free but a nominal fee should be fine.
