There has been demand from fourth cellular operators that some frequencies 

be made available to them from the 900 MHz band to help them in rural 

coverage. The License of 4

th

 CMSP stipulates that frequencies shall be 

assigned by WPC from the designated bands prescribed in NFAP 2000. 

However, it further commits allocation in 1800 MHz band. But this allocation 

procedure envisages allocation upto 2 X 6.2 MHz.  

The issue for consultation is should we consider giving some spectrum 

in 900 MHz band to fourth CMSPs?
