Ambani’s Reliance lobbies India on satellite spectrum in new face-off with Musk

Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance has argued that the telecom regulator incorrectly concluded that home satellite broadband spectrum should be allocated and not auctioned, a letter seen by Reuters shows, intensifying a face-off with Elon Musk’s Starlink.

The methodology of giving out spectrum for satellite services in India – a market set to grow 36% a year to reach $1.9 billion by 2030 according to Deloitte – has been a contentious issue since last year.
