All the action still seems to be concentrated in the lower frequency bands. The demand for 900 and 800 MHz bands is increasing and operators are willing to pay premium prices for the efficient airwaves. It is only after the prices of these bands soar outside the reach of the operators that they will bid more aggressively in the 1800MHz band. As for the 2100 MHz band we are witnessing much less demand than expected considering the incumbents would want to go Pan India with 3G spectrum and only one block being available.
