That's true. But on the other hand, there are new techniques to let the network manage the the spectrum allocation dynamically, on it's own like "dynamic spectrum sharing"[1].

And it would be probably much easier to try such technologies on an Indian village(low spectral use, low buildings offering little interference, relatively cheaper labor).
