These radio frequencies are in the 2100 MHz, 1800 MHz, 900 MHz and 800 MHz bands.This auction was remarkable in term of revenue and to rollout new services. The Auction was a Simultaneous Multiple Rounds Ascending (SMRA) e-auction, conducted over the Internet. This auction was very important to existing service providers to renew their, to be expiring licenses and to new operators who are planning to launch new services. This paper covers details of radio frequencies which were on offer in this auction, post auction radio frequencies allocation, major service providers‟ holding in service areas and service providers‟ plan.
