Telecom regulator Trai on Wednesday issued a discussion paper on the method and calculation for applying spectrum usage charges (SUC) in cases involving sharing of radiowaves.
Floating the latest consultation paper titled 'Methodology of applying spectrum usage charges under the weighted average method of SUC assessment in cases of spectrum sharing', Trai asked stakeholders to submit their comments and counter comments on the issue by May 20 and June 3, respectively, "preferably in electronic form".
The telecom department had urged the regulator to give recommendations on whether incremental 0.5 per cent in SUC rate in cases of sharing of spectrum should be applied only on specific band in which sharing is taking place, or to the overall weighted average rate of SUC, which is derived from all bands.
