The fight for third generation (3G) spectrum has intensified, with GSM operators joining CDMA rival Tata Teleservices in claiming first right to the 3G spectrum.
The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) has shot off a letter to the Department of Telecom (DoT) stating that since the existing operators are facing acute shortage of radio frequency, it would be unfair if spectrum for 3G were given to new players ahead of them.
