Most satellite spectrum recommendations sent back to Trai

New Delhi: The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has referred back a majority of the recommendations given by the telecom regulator concerning satellite spectrum allocation, including pricing of the airwaves.

Officials told ET the Digital Communications Commission (DCC), the highest decision-making body of DoT, met Tuesday and discussed the recommendations of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, but nothing was approved. “We have sent the reference back to Trai and once they clarify, the proposals will be taken up again,” said an official on the condition of anonymity.
