Telcos likely to bid for 20-30% of six 4G bands, skip 700 MHz
Overall, telcos are likely to bid for a combined only 20-30% of the six 4G bands on offer between 800 MHz and 2500 MHz, which are worth around Rs 2 lakh crore at base price, but largely give the 700 MHz band a miss, given its high price—38% higher than the 800 MHz band on average and 56% higher in three metro circles—say experts.
