TRAI seems firm on administrative allocation of satellite spectrum, focusing on pricing

TRAI seems firm that it will not reexamine whether to auction or allocate spectrum for satellite broadband communications. The Telecom Act has already paved the way for the administrative allocation of satellite spectrum, and the regulator is to find ways to price it within that framework.

The consultation process is open, and stakeholders are sharing their comments. In a recent letter to the chairman, Reliance Jio said that the regulator did not mention the option of satellite spectrum auction in the consultation paper.
