In order to carry out trial runs of 3G spectrum, the government has provided low-power spectrum to GSM players like Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL), Bharti and Hutch. The spectrum will be used for interface checks on a non-commercial basis. The trial spectrum has been given for one month and is 1/1000th of the actual 3G spectrum capability. It has been provided to those who had applied for it under the National Frequency Allocation Plan in the 2.1 GHz band. Reliance Communication Limited (RCL) has also reportedly sought 3G spectrum in six CDMA and seven GSM circles to test its equipment as well as services for 3G services.
