'Review spectrum pricing mechanism'

The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has pulled up the telecom department for not finalising policy on spectrum assignment for captive uses and flagged the absence of spectrum price review for captive users administratively. In its report titled 'Management of spectrum assigned on the administrative basis to government departments/agencies', the CAG asked the DoT to review the spectrum pricing mechanism for captive users to incentivise ministries, departments and agencies.
