The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) said, here on Wednesday, no additional spectrum was required for maintaining the network stability and quality. COAI Director General Rajan Mathews said over the past few days, the industry has seen flattening of traffic demand on members’ networks.
The clarification comes days after the telecom operators requested the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) for additional spectrum to meet the rising load on networks due to the nationwide lockdown. As streaming services and over-the-top platforms had reduced content from HD to SD and telecom operators had also taken other measures, pressure on the network had eased, he said.
