Welcome back from a nice sleep

Okay, we have result here for fourth round:

[harib4u]

Bids for Lot A has increased by 3%, taking the total bid to US 306.92 million dollars. Bids for rest of the Lots has remained the same.

[harib4u]

It is highly likely that at least one of the opertor is bidding for 15Mhz, i.e. 10Mhz plus 5Mhz, that's probably why bids are going high.

Since there's no increment in 5Mhz block lot so far, this even looks more likely.

Again, this is just speculation. Nothing can be said for sure before the final results.

Total increase in bids in value from base price is currently standing at US 17.82 million dollars.

Just to mention again, the base price for four lots for 2100Mhz was 885 million dollars.

Auction hall is currently full of chatter, speculations and guesses. But things are less roaring as compared to what they were 2 hours ago.

Since we don't know the amount of waivers used by operators, hence we can't say when this exactly is going to get concluded.

P.S. Waiver is a facility used by operators to keep the bid same, and yet remain in the bid. Maximum of three waivers were allowed to all operators.

If all waivers were used till round 5, then bid will be announced as concluded

We are waiting for PTA's words on it.

Chairman PTA is saying that bid is still to continue.

Since not every operator has used its allowed waivers, so bidding will continue.
However, if situation after Round 6 remains the same, then there is a chance bid is announced as concluded.
