Spectrum trading and sharing guidelines to come
 by year end Ravi Shankar Prasad
TT Correspondent |  |  15 Sep 2014

  Marking the first 100 days of the NDA government, Communication
  and IT Minister,Ravi Shankar Prasad in a press conference said that the 
 department of telecommunications (DoT) would come out 
 with new guidelines for telecom spectrum trading and 
 sharing by December.
 
"I have told my staff to ensure that guidelines on spectrum sharing and 
 trading are in place by year-end. The guidelines must be fair
 and objective and the consumer interests must also be kept
 in mind whileframing the new guidelines",
  said Ravi Shankar Prasad, Communication and IT Minister.
 
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) had in July
 released the much awaited guidelines on sharing of radio frequencies 
 in all bands among telcos, to optimally use limited air waves. Currently,
 mobile operators are allowed to share network infrastructure like mobile 
towers, which has helped them reduce costs, but not air waves. 
Trai has said that spectrum in different bands of spectrum
 will besharable provided both the licensees are
 having spectrum in the same band.
 
Ravi Shankar Prasad also elaborated that the entire mechanism
concerning the next round of spectrum auction scheduled to 
start from February 3, 2015 has to be worked out by  
the year-end to ensure  that auction before
 is completed during the current financial year.
 
The minister also hinted that more spectrum would be made
 available for which his ministry is in talks with the defence ministry.
 The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is yet to agree to release 5 MHz of 
3G spectrum to DoT. Telecom companies have repeatedly proposed
 that DoT swap 15 MHz of spectrum in the 1900-MHz band with an
 equal quantum of radio wave in the 3G band of 2100 MHz,
 unused with MoD.
 
A cyber security measures under Digital India programme a 
'National Cyber Coordination Centre' is
 also being set up for which `800 crore has been earmarked.
 
The government will also set up an e-governance security centre
 at a cost of `270 crore for ensuring security of all e-governance initiatives
 which has witnessed huge transactions. The government plans to complete
 the National Optical Fibre Network by 2017. This would provide broadband services 
in all 2.5 lakh panchayats at an estimated cost of `20,000 crore.
