a. 2
b. 3
c. 4
d. 5

ANSWER: 3
 
Telecom Commission stood by its decision to levy 3 percent spectrum usage charge of adjusted gross revenue on telecom operators. Weighted average will be calculated between broadband wireless access spectrum, current SUC rate and spectrum will be acquired in the future.
  • To stop revenue loss for the government, telecom operators will pay minimum amount they are paying as per 2015-2016 rates
  • Annual SUC collection is around INR 7000 crore and DoT moved Cabinet note for inter ministerial constellation on spectrum auction within the week
  • Spectrum bands will be auctioned in the same time
  • COAI has sought uniformity in SUC rate at 3 percent for assigned airwaves and bringing it further down to 1 percent in phased way
