    An illustrative image depicting a large, ornate gate with a digital sign that reads "SPECTRUM CRISIS! AUCTION WINNERS ONLY." A man in a suit stands in front of the gate, which is open to a highway leading into a city skyline. Two sleek, colorful race cars, one green and one red, labeled "AIS" and "TRUE" respectively, are speeding through the gate. Behind them, a slow, old bus and a group of three motorbikes are stopped and blocked by the man, unable to pass. The image symbolizes a telecom regulator's auction that only benefited the two dominant operators, leaving out state-owned and smaller competitors.
