Bharti Airtel, Idea Cellular, Reliance Communication and
Tata Teleservices shares gained between 1-5 per cent on Thursday as
telecom operators will now be able to share spectrum with other service
providers.
The Cabinet yesterday approved spectrum sharing norms enabling operators to share their allocated spectrum with a maximum of two other operators in the same band within a licence area. Operators will have to pay an additional 0.5 per cent charges to the government for sharing spectrum.
Analysts say the spectrum sharing norms will benefit operators with bigger subscriber base as they can share the unutilised spectrum of other telecom operators. Spectrum sharing will also improve spectrum usage efficiency and will reduce call drops.
As of 9.38 a.m. Bharti Airtel was up 3.7 per cent, Idea Cellular traded 2.45 per cent higher, while Reliance Communication and Tata Teleservices were up 0.82 per cent and 4.49 per cent respectively
