New Delhi: Telecom Minister A Raja said that the auction process for 3G spectrum would be completed by October and wanted the operators to roll out the high-end services this year.

In another major related development, the Minister said that the spectrum for CDMA operators for 3G services would now also be auctioned like the way it is being done for GSM operators.

Earlier there was not much competition in the CDMA section. There were only two players. Now with another player joining, the competition has emerged there as well.

“So, it will now be auctioned as per TRAI’s recommendations instead of allocation given on the subscriber base," Raja said.
