<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: As India sets to auction spectrum bands for fifth-generation or 5G<\/a> network, Satcom<\/a> Industry<\/a> Association-India (SIA-India) cautioned that bifurcating satellite bands in the upcoming 5G auction may cost the country upto $184.6 billion in economic losses by 2030.

This, SIA-India said, will also impact associated Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and employment generation benefits.

“The impact of the loss of C-band spectrum in the 3.6-3.67 GHz band alone will be felt across the entire Rs 700 billion Indian broadcasting industry,” the
satellite communication<\/a> (satcom) industry body said.

The international best practice for rationally planning spectrum use for different applications examines alternative uses to identify which use maximizes the value of that spectrum.

“We consider it important to recognise the current situation in terms of spectrum supply and demand and to adopt a more balanced approach in auctioning of the spectrum bands, taking into consideration the needs of various sectors as well as to ensure efficient take-up whilst generating a reasonable value to the Government,” said Anil Prakash, Director General SIA-India.

In India, airwaves in several bands such as 526-698 MHz, 700 MHz, 800MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2300 MHz, 2500 MHz, 3300-3670 MHz, and 24.25-28.5 GHz are set to go under the hammer for 5G rollout.

In its submission to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai), Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio has called for a “95% cut in the reserve price of mid-band 5G spectrum (read: 3.3-3.67 Ghz)” from the previously recommended rate, which would amount to around Rs 25 crore per unit.<\/p><\/div>
