 "Telecom Commission returns Trai recommendation on 3G spectrum base price")
The Telecom Commission on Wednesday sent back the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s (Trai’s) recommendations on pricing of 2,100-MHz spectrum to the regulator.
At an hour-long meeting, the Commission deliberated on the suggestions of an internal committee of the department of telecommunications that had said the pricing proposed by Trai was on the lower side.
Trai had recommended a base price of Rs 2,720 crore for each MHz of 2,100-MHz spectrum, while the internal committee was of the view that it should be about Rs 3,800 crore, on the basis of prices in the previous round of 3G spectrum auction in 2010.
