On November 26, 2015, the Chairman TRAI convened a meeting of representatives from the various institutions conducting spectrum trials using TV White Space, as well as concerned government agencies.
This was following Shyam Ponappa's suggestion that there was a need for the research by different institutions to fulfill various criteria that would be useful for the purposes of formulating policies for the use of TV White Space.
The meeting was attended by representatives conducting the various projects, namely, ERNET (Srikakulam), IIT-Bombay (Palghar), IIT-Hyderabad (Hyderabad) and IIT-Delhi (Delhi) [The Centre for Internet & Society is associated with both], and IIIT-Bangalore (Bangalore). Other projects that may be under way shortly near Delhi (Jaunty village) and Varanasi were not represented.
There were several representatives from the Department of Telecom’s Wireless Planning and Coordination Wing, the I&B Ministry, Doordarshan, and a large number from the TRAI.  The Chairman’s approach so far follows my suggestion that TVWS need not be reallocated or taken away from I&B, but that secondary sharing on the lines of the USA and the UK is possible under the present National Frequency Allocation Plan.
Some projects have been under way for months – ERNET and IIT-Bombay – whereas others are just starting – IIT-Hyderabad, IIT-Delhi, and IIIT-Bangalore.  There is likely to be another meeting after a couple of months or so.  Participants discussed the involvement of DD/I&B going forward. I will be suggesting that TRAI participate in designing follow-up phases, together with other agencies from the DOT (such as the Telecommunication Engineering Centre).
