On the Indian allocation of 2.5 MHz spectrum chunks rather than 5 MHz. I saw this report a couple of weeks ago -- an everyone looses scheme. I think the most recent scheme is WLL CDMA in two sets of contiguous 4 chunks X 5 MHz/chunk, both in the 800 MHz band with requirements that 50% of each operator's new lines be wirelines. Then it would be followed at a "later date" with further allocations of non-CDMA WLL in the 1900MHZ area. Clearly, in India the fear of competition is causing cellular operators to lobby the government fiercely. The result is that the Indian people's best interest are being attacked by the do nothing cellular operators who want to peserve their competition free sanctuary. It is easy to see how india has gone nowhere economically for years.
