In the area of using the radio spectrum, India must follow international spectrum allocation for various types of services. The benefit is the availability of equipment meeting international service requirement. The real problem is that a large amount of spectrum is reserved with the Govt Departments and their reluctance to part with it. The country is large and to compare India with Britain as regards the number of players is, in my opinion, wrong. One could compare with the USA where the number of commercial operators is large. The spectrum must be related to the service and follow international norms. In India it is not the operator who decides the technology but the Govt.
