Newer avenues opened up for deeper penetration, and consolidation, Deloitte

“The roads are now clear for the 5G auctions. This is probably one of the most awaited spectrum auctions which will bring significant advancements for the industry and the consumers. The good part is that the spectrum across bands will go under the hammer shortly. The government has also announced auction of mmWave band which will not only help in unlocking the true potential of 5G but will also help strategically manage costs for the operators.

Another aspect which will spur a good auction is that the operators will have the flexibility to surrender the spectrum after 10 years without any liabilities. To boost technological advancement the government has also announced development of private networks which will pave the way for Industry 4.0 applications. Together these steps will open up newer avenues for deeper penetration and access , rich user experience via consolidation as well.”
