Spectrum, Insolvency & Public Trust | SC Judgment, IBC Limits & the Unanswered Telecom Question

In this video, I explain the Supreme Court’s landmark judgment on spectrum and insolvency, and more importantly, the bigger unanswered question it leaves behind. The Supreme Court has clearly held that spectrum is not an asset under IBC, cannot be treated as collateral, and belongs to the people of India, with the Government acting as a public trustee. This settles the legal debate — but it also raises a deeper policy and constitutional question: 👉 What if spectrum pricing and auction design themselves are destroying competition, delaying usage, and pushing telecom companies into bankruptcy?
