电讯公司可要求检讨700Mhz频谱的底价
“运营商很快就会写信给电信部长Anshu Prakash，因为所有的次ghz频段，如700mhz、800mhz和900mhz的特征是相同的，他们的保留价格应该是相同的，”一位资深行业高管告诉印度经济时报。

“运营商很快就会写信给电信部长Anshu Prakash，因为所有sub-Ghz频段，如700mhz, 800mhz和900mhz的特征是相同的，他们的保留价格应该是相同的顺序，”一位高级官员说行业一位高管告诉《经济时报》。
他说，电信公司也可能寻求将600兆赫频段列入可能在下次拍卖中提供的sub-Ghz频段名单。
电信公司可能会通过印度移动运营商协会(COAI)发送他们的信件Bharti Airtel，依赖Jio而且沃达丰的想法．
在最近结束的无线电波拍卖中，政府只拍得77814亿卢比，售出了7个波段2300多个频谱单位中的37%。
在最近结束的2021年3月拍卖中，以及2016年10月的拍卖中，这一昂贵的700 MHz频谱都无人问津。
印度交通部表示，未售出的700兆赫频谱可能会在即将举行的拍卖中与指定用于5G服务的3.3-3.6兆赫频段一起出售。不过，政府还没有安排下一次促销活动。
大型电信运营商也可能会强调政府设定的保留价格的明显差异印度电信监管局（火车)在3.3-3.6 Ghz频段的5G电波，与其他国家5G拍卖中的市场发现率相比。
例如，他们可能会引用最近一份关于印度5G准备工作的议会小组报告，该报告指出，Trai建议的3.3-3.6 Ghz频段5G频谱单位49.2亿卢比的底价，比奥地利这些频段的拍卖发现价格高出70倍。
另一位业内高管表示，同样，他们可能会指出，Trai推荐的这些下一代无线电波的最低价格绝对值分别比西班牙、澳大利亚、英国和意大利拍卖发现的价格高35倍、14倍、7倍和3倍。
截至发稿时，Bharti附近的旅馆信实Jio和沃达丰Idea没有回应本报的询问。
记者向COAI提出的问题也未得到答复。
Airtel的领导层此前坚持认为，基于目前较高的基价，电信公司竞标过高的700 Mhz频谱没有经济理由。它补充说，700 Mhz和3.5 Ghz频段有可能加速印度向数字化国家的顶级联盟的进步，这就是为什么这些频段的储备价格需要优先解决的原因。

<\/figure>Kolkata: India\u2019s Big 3 telcos will shortly write to the Department of Telecommunications<\/a> (DoT<\/a>) to push the sector regulator to reset the reserve price of airwaves in the coveted but pricey 700 Mhz band by bringing it on par with those of other sub-Ghz bands such as 800 Mhz and 900 Mhz for the upcoming 5G spectrum sale.\u201cOperators will soon write to telecom secretary Anshu Prakash that since the characteristics of all sub-Ghz bands such as 700 Mhz, 800 Mhz and 900 Mhz are the same, their reserve prices should be of the same order,\u201d a senior industry<\/a> executive told ET.
Telcos, he said, are also likely to seek the inclusion of 600 Mhz spectrum in the list of sub-Ghz bands that may be potentially offered in the next auction.
<\/div><\/div>They are likely to underline that without an immediate reset of 700 Mhz spectrum pricing in line with other sub-Ghz bands, there won\u2019t be any takers for these airwaves for a third time.
The telcos are likely to route their letter via the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), which represents Bharti Airtel<\/a>, Reliance Jio<\/a> and Vodafone Idea<\/a>.
In the recently concluded airwave auctions, the government mopped up only Rs 77,814 crore, selling 37% of the over 2,300 units of spectrum across seven bands on sale.
The expensive 700 MHz spectrum found no takers in the recently concluded March 2021 auction, and earlier in the October 2016 sale.
The DoT has said that the unsold 700 Mhz spectrum may be offered in the upcoming auction along with those in the 3.3-3.6 Ghz bands earmarked for 5G services. The government, though, is yet to schedule the next sale.
The big telcos are also likely to underline the glaring disparity in the reserve price set by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> (Trai<\/a>) for the 5G airwaves in the 3.3-3.6 Ghz bands compared with their market-discovered rates in 5G auctions in other countries.
For instance, they are likely to cite a recent parliamentary panel report on India\u2019s 5G preparedness that had noted that Trai\u2019s suggested base price of Rs 492 crore per unit for 5G spectrum in the 3.3-3.6 Ghz bands is 70 times higher than the auction discovered price of these airwaves in Austria.

Likewise, they are likely to point out that Trai\u2019s recommended minimum rate for these next-gen airwaves is as much as 35, 14, 7 and 3 times higher in absolute terms than the auction discovered rates in Spain, Australia, UK and Italy respectively, another industry executive said.
<\/div><\/div>The operators are also likely to underline that the reserve price of 5G spectrum for the next sale should be reasonable and in line with global trends, regardless of efforts to dissuade non-serious bidders.
At press time, Bharti Airtel<\/a>, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea did not respond to ET\u2019s queries.
Queries to COAI also remained unanswered.
Airtel\u2019s leadership has previously maintained that it made no economic case for telcos to bid for exorbitant 700 Mhz spectrum based on its current high base price. It had added that 700 Mhz along with the 3.5 Ghz band had the potential to accelerate India's progress to the top league of digitally enabled nations, which is why the reserve pricing of these bands need to be addressed on a priority basis.

Likewise, they are likely to point out that Trai\u2019s recommended minimum rate for these next-gen airwaves is as much as 35, 14, 7 and 3 times higher in absolute terms than the auction discovered rates in Spain, Australia, UK and Italy respectively, another industry executive said.
<\/div><\/div>The operators are also likely to underline that the reserve price of 5G spectrum for the next sale should be reasonable and in line with global trends, regardless of efforts to dissuade non-serious bidders.
At press time, Bharti Airtel<\/a>, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea did not respond to ET\u2019s queries.
Queries to COAI also remained unanswered.
Airtel\u2019s leadership has previously maintained that it made no economic case for telcos to bid for exorbitant 700 Mhz spectrum based on its current high base price. It had added that 700 Mhz along with the 3.5 Ghz band had the potential to accelerate India's progress to the top league of digitally enabled nations, which is why the reserve pricing of these bands need to be addressed on a priority basis.

Likewise, they are likely to point out that Trai\u2019s recommended minimum rate for these next-gen airwaves is as much as 35, 14, 7 and 3 times higher in absolute terms than the auction discovered rates in Spain, Australia, UK and Italy respectively, another industry executive said.
<\/div><\/div>The operators are also likely to underline that the reserve price of 5G spectrum for the next sale should be reasonable and in line with global trends, regardless of efforts to dissuade non-serious bidders.
At press time, Bharti Airtel<\/a>, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea did not respond to ET\u2019s queries.
Queries to COAI also remained unanswered.
Airtel\u2019s leadership has previously maintained that it made no economic case for telcos to bid for exorbitant 700 Mhz spectrum based on its current high base price. It had added that 700 Mhz along with the 3.5 Ghz band had the potential to accelerate India's progress to the top league of digitally enabled nations, which is why the reserve pricing of these bands need to be addressed on a priority basis.
