Why telcos are asking govt to auction direct-to-mobile services spectrum

Indian telecom operators have petitioned the government to auction spectrum for direct-to-mobile (D2M) services in a technology neutral manner. The spectrum is considered 'precious' by operators as it is identified for mobility services by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Auctioning the spectrum will enable operators to utilise it flexibly for IMT and broadcasting services, ensuring optimal utilisation and saving bandwidth.
