ANSWER: Same
DoPT has issued guidelines for liberalising 2G spectrum in that operators will be able to offer mobile services such as 4G using the same radio waves. "Existing CMTS/UAS/UL with access service authorisation licensees may liberalise their entire administratively allotted spectrum holding in 800 Mhz and 1800 Mhz band in a service area for the balance validity period of right to use spectrum," the guidelines indicated. This will benefit telecom operators like Reliance Communications, Aircel, Airtel and Vodafone.
