Spectrum War
We will see spectrum war regarding allocation of extension of exisiting services in IMT2000 (3G) band.
- CDMA operators in India are demanding fresh spectrum in the 1900 Mhz frequency band, GSM operators are opposing it on the ground that the band has been earmarked globally for third generation services. GSM players hold that if CDMA operators are also accommodated in the 1900 Mhz band it would interfere with 3G deployment.
- The forum representing the leading GSM/3G suppliers worldwide, GSA, has rejected the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s proposal on allocation of frequencies to existing CDMA operators in India. GSA rejected the proposal saying the upper frequencies conflict with the internationally agreed IMT-2000 spectrum plan identified by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for 3G/IMT-2000 systems
- It also says that severe interference between existing CDMA base stations and users of 3G systems will reduce service quality and performance of 3G systems. This would then lead to higher costs and restrict competition
