-------- Original Message -------- Subject: outdoor 802.11b "in principle" Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 09:35:06 +0530 From: Arun Mehta Newsgroups: gmane.org.telecom.india-gii
says http://www.dotindia.com/broadbandpolicy2004.htm: (e) Terrestrial Wireless
Recognising that terrestrial wireless is another upcoming technology platform for Broadband, it has been decided in principle to de-licence 2.40-2.48 GHz band for low-power outdoor use on non-protection, non-interference and non-exclusive basis. Necessary notification shall be issued. Further, notification regarding delicensing 2.40-2.4835 MHz band for low power indoor permitting use of all technologies, which inter-alia include those based on IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g standards, has been issued.
To accelerate penetration of Broadband and Internet, the 5.15-5.35 GHz band shall be de-licensed for the indoor use of low power Wi-Fi systems. For outdoor use, the band 5.25-5.35 GHz shall be de-licensed in consultation with DoS and delicensing in the band 5.15-5.25 GHz would be considered after the process of vacation. Alternative spectrum bands which are not in high usage and could be deployed for Broadband services, shall also be explored and identified.

No unbundling of last mile copper, nor of all the wasted optic fiber nationally. Our international bandwidth prices are still 5 times higher than what everyone else pays. Some improvement in the policy for satellite-based delivery (to improve the business case for DTH, which otherwise isn't taking off). Basically, the most significant announcement in the broadband policy is this "in principle" delicensing, whatever that means. We will need to read the fine print when the notification comes out, as always.
Yet, the members of this list, who have promoted this delicensing for 4 years now, have something to celebrate!
