The Department of Telecommunication (DoT) is expected to notify the spectrum sharing rules within a week’s time. Meanwhile, notification regarding spectrum trading regulations is likely to take some more time.

Recently, on August 12, 2015, the government had approved long-awaited spectrum sharing guidelines that provide operators an alternative to acquire more airwaves than only through auction. Once these guidelines are notified, telecom operators will be able to share their spectrum holdings that will help them in decongesting their networks and provide quality services.
