Satcom services after security clearance, spectrum allocation; Vodafone Idea matter under works: Scindia

Satellite communication services will be rolled out in the country after players in the segment, including Elon Musk-owned Starlink, comply with the demands of security agencies, Union Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said.

The minister, in an interview to PTI, said the government will soon be in a position to allocate spectrum to satcom players – Starlink, Eutelsat One, and Jio SGS – once Department of Telecom (DoT) finalises spectrum pricing.
