Elon Musk’s Starlink stares at uncertain future in India as TRAI mulls license curbs
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) plans to recommend that satellite broadband spectrum be allotted for five years to assess initial market adoption, a Reuters report said. This defies tech billionaire Elon Musk’s Starlink which is seeking a 20-year permit, the report quoted a senior government source.
The TRAI is currently working on key recommendations to the federal government, including a time frame and pricing of satellite spectrum, which will be administratively allotted, the report added.
