Satellite Communications
On April 8, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has released a consultation paper laying out a regulatory framework for satellite communications — one that proposes moving away from the traditional auction-based approach towards an administrative process for the allocation of space-based airwaves.
The paper, formally titled “Framework for Satellite Communication Network Authorisation, and Assignment of Spectrum to Satellite Communication Network Providers” proposes a structural change in how satellite services are licensed and operated in India.
