CASBAA, “Deeply Concerned,” Urges India Not to Touch C-band

India’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRAI) is considering how best to favor development of IMT-Advanced wireless broadband services.  In an August 19 Consultation Paper, TRAI proposed a number of frequency bands for public comment.   CASBAA urged the Indian government not to further consider using C-band for this purpose.  Widely used by Indian broadcasters and cable companies, the C-band is “not suitable for use by…broadband wireless systems…since such use may jeopardize essential C-band communication services across India, and in neighbouring countries as well.”   Read the CASBAA submission here.
