3G allocation policy to inhibit CDMA growth source :: http://www.business-standard.com/common/st...mp;autono=35529 Atleast after reading this article better sense prevails within DoT and make effort not to commit the same mistake done in 2G. All along 2G regime, Spectrum for CDMA has been alloted in minute value compared to GSM applying same subscriber criteria. Atleast here's a chance for DoT to rectify that mistake in 3G and show to the world that they're really technology neutral. Equating the 1/4th of market price of 5 MHz of 2.1 Ghz band to 1.25 MHz of 800 MHz band is something which is not completely rational although this postion is improvement from earlier TRAI's postion. It doesn't reflect the market demand for that particular band. 800 MHz band Spectrum has to be auctioned separately in bits of 1.25 Mhz. Also strongly feel that 450 Mhz band and 1900 Mhz band has to be auctioned spearately in bits of x. Equating one band's auctioned value to another band spectrum is totally not good and it's impediment in the growth of sector. I can understand 450 MHz is currently used by Police and hence not available for auction. But regarding 1900 MHz,After successful completion of the mandated mixed-band RF interference, I felt 1900 MHz should have been roped in for auction. I request DoT to come clear on this aspect. Is Govt not technology neutral just because Reliance is intrested only in 2.1GHz(read as GSM-3G)?

DoT rings in M&A norms for telcos http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Busines...how/2939186.cms There is totally incorrect reading done by the reporter saying that norms doesn't speak about acquistion but only about merger. Merger and Acquistion is different only in terms of compostion of Board and Swap ratio on shares. As for as Market Power, Monopoly, Spectrum usage are concerned both are on the same plateau.

Here are my neutral views..... 1) By studying(before the first reply posted by rbdhoot) the topic starter post itself, I came to the conclusion that rajdeep_v is not talking about Samsung Duo but about new mobile. 2) I recommend the members to start topic even without any postable proof (but you should be convinced about your source) since it would help other members to dig the info from somewhere in the web or from their sources. 3)Please accept in social forums we'll have people of different emotional thresholds and be polite in your replies. After all we as Indians are proud of unity in diversity. Thanks for your support and we'll move along together to identify emerging information sprouts.
