The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has planned to recommend that satellite broadband spectrum be allocated for five years to assess the adoption of the initial market, A Roots The report states. It defines the Starlink of Tech billionaire Elon Musk seeking 20 years permission, quoting a senior government source.
TRAI is currently working on significant recommendations to the federal government, including a time limit and pricing of satellite spectrum, which will be allocated administratively, the report states.
Kasturi signals are related to Ambani, Airtel
Billionaire Mukesh Ambani-controlled JIO Platform Limited unveiled the same arrangement, a day after the rival Bharti Airtel Limited, a day later, a day later.
The partnership will allow Starlink devices to be sold at Ambani’s Reliance Stores, providing large distribution access to this. He was the first rival – Ambani’s Telco subsidiary had unsuccessfully advocated New Delhi for months for a spectrum auction, and did not allocate it administratively as Kasturi wanted.
Starlink has pushed New Delhi to allocate the spectrum for 20 years to focus on “affordable pricing and long -term trade plans”, while Reliance demanded it for three years, after which he wants to rejuvenate India according to his public submission. Bharti Airtel has also pushed the license for a period of 3-5 years.
Twin deal essentially converts Alone Musk’s Internet service into a partner of India’s powerful wireless carrier from Challenger, outlining his growing global impact as a close advisor to US President Donald Trump. It also marks a voltage-face by Ambani’s Jio and Bharti-which was controlled by Tycoon Sunil Mittal-who were previously opposed to Starlink’s idea, who were receiving airways cheaply.
TRAI-Alone Musk Standoff
TRAI planned to agree to demands for a time-limit of low license “for nearly five years” and then see how the sector grows, “said the senior government source, which is named as the decision-making process, is confidential.
The official said, “It will help understand how the market becomes stable, so there is no point in being more than five years.”
An industry source familiar with licensing procedures told Roots Low time-frames will allow New Delhi to modify spectrum prices after five years as the market develops.
The government source said that TRAI would take about a month to finalize its recommendations on license time-frames and permartz spectrum pricing per MHz spectrum, which will then be presented to the Ministry of Telecommunications of India for further action.
KPMG estimates that India’s satellite communication sector will grow more than 10 times in size to touch $ 25 billion by 2028.
