Consulted every stakeholder on 5G spectrum pricing, says Trai’s Sharma

New Delhi: TRAI chairman R.S. Sharma on Wednesday put the ball back into the operators’ court after they complained that the 5G spectrum reserve prices were higher, saying the operators were consulted over the base price and the government has not sought any further review on it so far.

“If the government thinks the price is on the higher side, they will make a reference to TRAI. Somebody says its on the higher side or the lower side, its their call.

“How many times do I take into consideration, did I not consult everybody when we gave the recommendations. Only after the consultation process, TRAI gave the recommendations.
