Private telecom operators on Monday met the panel set up to review the spectrum allocation norms recommended by the Telecom Engineering Centre.
The committee, headed by Department of Telecom Additional Secretary R Bandhopadhyay and comprising representatives from GSM and CDMA operators, held its first meeting in New Delhi on Monday.
Sources said GSM-based mobile players such as Bharti Airtel, Idea Cellular and Vodafone Essar argued that the procedure followed by TEC for calculating the spectrum allocation criteria did not have any scientific basis.
