Use available spectrum efficiently

Posted on | September 16, 2005 |

Speaking at the Wireless and Mobile India 2005 exhibition, DPS Seth, TRAI Member, said that telecom operators should ensure efficient use of spectrum available to them, before demanding more.

The operators must ensure that they adhere to the norms laid by TRAI in this regard and maintain at least a minimum number of base stations, he said sighting an example from a study by the regulator in which it had observed that the number of base stations in a bungalow zone area (VVIP) in Delhi was found to be 50 per cent less than required.

The private operators are demanding an increased spectrum for improving the quality of their services.

    Hi Veer:
    There is an interesting article written by Kevin Werbach
    http://newamerica.net/Download_Docs/pdfs/Pub_File_1001_1.PDF /(first version).

    The latest version of this is here It’s available on my (Kevin’s)website at
    http://werbach.com/research/supercommons.pdf

    Kevin’s approach is that spectrum is NOT a limited resource and a ‘natural utility’that need not be rationed. When first published it was an eye-opener. Kevin was at one time the advisor to the FCC, US

    cheers
