NEW DELHI: With India staring at weeks of lockdown to curb the spread of novel coronavirus infection, the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) has written to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) urging it to provide more spectrum, for the time being, for maintaining telecom services. “In the US, FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated additional spectrum to the TSP to ensure continuity of broadband service.
Accordingly, in India also equal amount of additional spectrum in 1800 MHz band should be allocated to all the TSPs for the short term, to augment capacity," COAI director general Rajan S.
