Abstract

Abstract : This paper aims at developing a spectrum map of the spectrum allocated for provisioning of mobile communications by Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) in India through various auctions from 2010 to 2016. The paper probably is the first initiative of its kind. It adopts a unique approach in translating the spectrum allocated over the years for mobile communication services in India into a visually comprehensible spectrum utilisation map(s). The map(s) provide(s) a visual state of the allocated spectrum which will be helpful for both policy formulators and the service providers in focussing their emphasis on both quality of spectrum allocated, and the quantum of spectrum allocated. It can also be used as a planning tool by all stake holders for subsequent spectrum auctions.
