Telecom operators competed for a small piece of the 5G auction on Thursday, which will continue for a fourth day today. There was a fierce rivalry for 5G spectrum in the 1,800 MHz band, and that too in a B category circle of Uttar Pradesh, rather than a fight for 5G spectrum bands in metro areas or category A circles (East). There hasn't been much of a movement in the last two days of the auction when seen from the perspective of the bid value growth. The total amount of bids received on Wednesday was Rs 149,454 crore, and on Thursday it increased to Rs 149,623 crore, an increase of just Rs 169 crore.
