COAI Opposes Direct Spectrum Allocation for Private 5G Networks

COAI Opposes Direct Spectrum Allocation for Private 5G Networks

Imagine companies wanting their own private internet networks.

The government is figuring out if it should let them get their own special airwaves (spectrum) directly.

Telecom companies, like Jio and Airtel, don't want this because they think it could cause problems for the government's money, make things less secure, and not be fair to them.

They argue it would be better if these companies used the telecom companies' networks.

The government is still deciding what to do, but telecom companies are voicing their concerns again.
