Description: The radio spectrum is an essential resource for a wide range of activities, including telecommunication, radio and television broadcasting, among others. It is scarce and its management was not an issue until few years ago, since there had been few wireless-based applications. Today, India is witnessing tremendous growth in mobile wireless telecommunications. About 2 million mobile wireless subscribers are being added every month. This accelerated growth has placed considerable demands on the spectrum. Various stakeholders are combining their expertise and views to determine what reforms, if any, are appropriate for effective allocation and utilization of spectrum.Against this backdrop, this thesis attempts to study and document the various concepts of spectrum management and the status of spectrum management in India. Based on this theoretical foundation, this study addresses how legal and regulatory reforms could be structured in India so as to make spectrum allocation and usage more efficient.
