光谱的惨败:过度高估后果

频谱的固有特性使得贪婪的罪恶

等局

新德里:刚刚结束的电信拍卖是一个壮观的失败从的角度提高收入和销售提供。政府将把这个财政。56000卢比的目标。32000卢比的‘只’的频谱拍卖,不足43%。只有41%的2353 MHz的频谱可以出售。原因不难找到。这造成的打击,财政状况的直接结果是政府设置过高的底价700,800和900 MHz乐队,仍未售出除了提供800年的15%。底价是几倍的价格1 MHz的频谱在发达国家人均。政府必须从这个经验中学习,而不是让错误的设置高储备在未来的频谱拍卖价格。高底价是一个毫无根据的扭曲。

一个经常被引用的原因来证明高基础价格在拍卖是可能的起诉CAG了所谓的2 gCAG的骗局报告Vinod拉伊,2010年拍卖的结果来估计公允价值的光谱。这个理由不洗。随后的拍卖是在2012年,2013年,甚至2015年,公司不得不perforce出价高留在企业,揭示定价远低于2010年。即使没有概念修正要求,考虑到经济效益的低价光谱,包括更快的增长和更高的税收收入,因此,没有理由保持基础价格高。

竞争性投标程序会发现最优价格,如果不设置底价过高阻碍投标。不像煤或其他矿物质,光谱没有全球交易价格。它的值是locationspecific。谱也不习惯了,只是被反复使用,创造价值。频谱使用产生网络效应:网络上的人数越多,越多的价值被网络上的每一个人。保持低频谱价格,专注于扩大数字网络,最大化创造的价值和目标的值作为税收收入。
