Satcom rollout needs security compliance: Scindia

Satellite (satcom) 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.
