The DoT has started the process for auctioning of the 700 Mhz band of Spectrum which can be used for providing broad band services using fourth generation (4G) technologies.

The Government is also trying to get the 45 Mhz wireless spectrum from the Defence for the use of telecom services.

It is interesting that these news have been coming now and then, but nothing has happened so far. BSNL was entrusted with the job of laying the network for Defence so that the latter can release the spectrum. It is not known what is the present position of the same.
