Jio asks Trai to review consultation paper on satellite spectrum

Reliance Jio has written to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) seeking a review of the consultation paper on satellite spectrum issued last month, saying that it ignored the telecom department’s terms of reference specifying a level-playing field with terrestrial networks.

In the letter seen by Mint, Jio’s head of regulatory affairs has said that the consultation paper has completely overlooked the critical issue of ensuring level-playing field between satellite-based and terrestrial access services.
