In a win for Elon Musk, Scindia says no to spectrum auction pitch from Mukesh Ambani, Sunil Mittal

In a boost to Elon Musk’s Starlink, Communications Minister Scindia has said the spectrum for satellite broadband will be allocated and not auctioned as sought by Indian billionaires Mukesh Ambani and Sunil Mittal.

The satellite broadband spectrum will however be not given free and sector regulator Trai will fix a price for the resource, he told PTI in a text and video interview.
