    India's largest spectrum auction raises $9.9 billion, misses target
  • India's spectrum auction ended yesterday, with the government raising $9.9 billion, out of the $84 billion-worth of spectrum put up for sale.

    The sale proceeds fell short tremendously, with just about 41% of the airwaves on auction being sold.

    The premium 700 MHz and 900 MHz bands saw no takers during the auction, resulting in lower gains as these bands were the most expensive.
