@iamvish maybe they are gearing up for the addition.

@RKhan21 ya I forgot that, gov agencies holding 20Mhz, but they can be put in middle and putting telecos first and last.

Also KL, MP, MH airtel will be stuck with 30Mhz B40 forever because vil holding 10Mhz in these circles.

Vi b40 10 mhz is very bad, it's congested all.the times, sometimes I get locked to it and speeds are very low. I think vil should sell that 10 mhz to airtel, and use that money for 5g investment or something. they will still can deploy 4ca here with b1 and b8 b3 and b41.

When will the spectrum bought in the auctions be deployed? Anybody knows a specific timeline or date?

 

[Bruce_Wayne]

It depends on the state, B40 will be put to use anytime because it is immediately available. But incase of other bands operators need to wait till expiry of the old lisence.

The main issue is that the administratively allocated spectrum assignments in the 800 MHz, 900 MHz, and 1800 MHz band are expiring in different timelines across different LSAs and different bands.

For example, 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.

So it will take upto October for getting spectrum in hands for all 3 companies.
