India opens 6GHz spectrum for license-free WiFi use
In order to allow unlicensed use of technologies such as Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, the Indian government has released draft regulations to delicense the 5925–6425 MHz segment of the 6 GHz spectrum.
Faster, low-latency Wi-Fi 6E is made possible by India's delicensing of the 6 GHz band, which also lowers internet costs, improves connectivity in rural areas, complies with international standards, and generates ₹25,000 crore in economic value. All of these factors promote innovation, competition, and digital inclusion throughout the nation.
Telecom operators are against the plan; arguing that the band should be set aside for 5G in order to comply with IMT-2020 standards, even though tech companies support it.
