电信部和铁道部官员互相指责700MHz频段未售出

电信部和铁道部官员互相指责700MHz频段未售出


新德里:政府未能出售“利润丰厚”的700兆赫频率的任何频谱,导致电信部和监管机构之间产生分歧火车电波定价过高。

消息人士称,电信部官员和铁道部高级官员之间发生了一些“激烈的交锋”Manoj Sinha对拍卖表示不满,因为政府只售出了约40%的拍卖频谱。

对通信部来说,痛苦的部分是没有出售700兆赫频段的频谱,尽管负债累累的行业抗议其“过高的价格”和缺乏现成的基础设施,但该频段一直被预测为“高效”。

700 MHz的底价为11485亿卢比(全印度每兆赫)。5MHz的泛印度区块价格近575亿卢比,这是该频段提供有效覆盖的最低规模,对于负债近38万亿卢比的行业来说,这一直被视为过高。

虽然Trai对频谱定价提出了最初的建议,但最终由电信部长领导的部际电信委员会批准JS迪帕克

消息人士称,铁道部和电信部官员一直在试图“推卸责任”,这导致频谱收入约为6600亿卢比,低于去年创纪录的1.1万亿卢比。而且,这次出售的频谱总价值为56万亿卢比——仅以底价计算。

Sinha周五试图淡化政府未能激发私营运营商对700 MHz频段潜力的关注。“如果(运营商的)财务状况不好,他们现在不能获得频谱,如果我们立即进行拍卖,他们又有什么保证会获得频谱呢?”我们将在适当的时候接听电话,”当被问及重新拍卖的计划时,这位部长表示。

这位电信部长补充说:“如果他们(运营商)没有购买频谱,我们认为他们不具备购买的条件,而且生态系统也不存在。所以,一旦生态系统发展起来,我们就会讨论,或者他们应该说他们可以接受。”

高级消息人士称,该部门并不急于很快考虑出售。“过去几年连续举行拍卖,这个行业也需要喘口气。大量投资正在注入,资本支出必须有一段时间才能投资和利用。”

New Delhi: The government's failure to sell any spectrum in the \"lucrative\" 700 MHz frequency has led to differences between the telecom ministry and regulator Trai<\/a> over pricing of the airwave.<\/p>

Sources said there were some \"heated exchanges\" between officials at the telecom ministry and senior Trai functionaries as minister Manoj Sinha<\/a> expressed displeasure regarding the auction as government managed to sell only around 40% of the total spectrum that had been offered for auction.<\/p>

The painful part for the ministry was that no spectrum was sold in the 700 MHz band, which had been constantly projected as \"highly-efficient\", despite protests by the debt-laden industry about its \"exorbitant pricing\" and lack of a ready-to-use infrastructure.<\/p>

700 MHz had Rs 11,485 crore reserve price (pan-India per megahertz). A price of nearly Rs 57,500 crore for a pan-India block of 5MHz - the minimum size to provide effective coverage with this band - was always seen as too high for the industry that has a debt of nearly Rs 3.8 lakh crore.<\/p>

While Trai had made the original recommendations on pricing of spectrum, that had been cleared finally by the inter-ministerial telecom commission, headed by telecom Secretary JS Deepak<\/a>.<\/p>

Sources said Trai and the telecom ministry officials have been trying to \"fix the blame\" for the failure, which has resulted in realisation of spectrum revenue of around Rs 66,000 crore, lower than last year's record Rs 1.1 lakh crore. And, total value of the spectrum that had been put up for sale this time was Rs 5.6 lakh crore - just at the reserve price.<\/p>

Sinha on Friday sought to downplay the government's failure to excite the private operators on the potential of the 700 MHz band. \"If the financial condition (of operators) is not good and they cannot take the spectrum now, what is the guarantee that they will take it if we conduct auction immediately. We will take a call at an opportune time,\" the minister said when asked about the plan for re-auction.<\/p>

The telecom minister added, \"If they (operators) have not bought the spectrum, we believe they were not in condition to buy and also the ecosystem does not exist. So, we will talk once the ecosystem develops or they should say they can take it.\"<\/p>

Top sources said the ministry is in no hurry to look at a sale very soon. \"There have been back-to-back auctions for the last few years and the industry also needs a breather. A lot of investments are being pumped in and there must be some time for the capex to be invested and utilized.\"<\/p> <\/div><\/div>
