Spectrum acquisition is good for the next couple of years
Rajan S Mathews, Director General, Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), talks about how the scope for further consolidation is going to continue to stress the industry for some time, the October airwaves sale, and the controversy around Reliance Jio´s entry.
Mood coloured by near-term uncertainty
Hemant Maganlal Joshi, Technology, Media and Telecom Leader, Deloitte Haskins & Sells, feels that despite the near-term sluggish outlook for the telecom industry, innovation will help it come out of the woods.
Spectrum auction nets Rs 14,000 crore as deposits
Seven telecom operators have deposited Rs 14,653 crore as earnest money for the largest spectrum auction from October 1. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has said that Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, Idea Cellular and Vodafone can bid in any spectrum band in any of the telecom circles in the country.

In the first quarter, the three accounted for 91 per cent of the sector´s incremental revenue.
