The telecom ministry had proposed to exch-ange 15 Mhz China wood drying chamber for sale spectrum it holds in 1900 Mhz band with same quantum held by the defence ministry in 2100 Mhz band.With this, the total value of airwaves to be put up for sale will increase to Rs 5.66 lakh crore — making it the biggest spectrum auction ever in the country.As a result of spectrum swap agreement between DoT and the defence ministry, 15 Mhz of 3G spectrum in each of 22 telecom circles and 201 Mhz of spectrum in 1800 Mhz band would be avai-lable for mobile services.The defence ministry has agreed to vacate telecom spectrum worth Rs 30,000 crore that will be put up for sale in the auction scheduled to begin in July. At base price, the value of spectrum is Rs 30,000 crore," an official source said.
"The defence ministry has agreed to handover spectrum in 2100 (3G) and 1800 Mhz bands as was requested by the DoT.This is the first festival in which the band, which just released its first album, is going to perform. He further adds, "Since then, the genre has come a long way but it’s still great to revive the underground metal scene and take the festival to different cities. Veteran bands like Reptilian Death, a heavy metal band that has been around since 2001, will be sharing the stage with up and coming talents like Vidyut and Godless. "We all have daytime jobs," says Riju. He further adds, "But ask any metal artist and they will tell you that they are far more passionate about their music than their jobs. Back then, I was part of Demonic Resurrection, which played more of a Gothic, symphonic style of metal as opposed to the heavy, death metal which Reptilian Death plays."
The bassist further adds that an indicator of how far the metal scene has come in the country is the fact that it has made it to the heart of the city from having to play in places like Thane because few venues would host such an intense, jarring genre of music. In fact, we now have enough death metal bands in the country to create a purely death metal festival, which was not the case when Dominination first began. Festivals like these give new bands a lot of exposure since you have people coming in from all over the country.To say that bassist Abbas Rizvi of Godless is excited about the upcoming event is an understatement.
