Sunil Mittal joins his rival Mukesh Ambani-led Jio to pitch for satellite companies buying spectrum

Telecom czar Sunil Bharti Mittal on Tuesday joined his rival Mukesh Ambani-led Jio, to make a strong case for satellite companies paying license fee as well as buying airwaves for their telecom services just like legacy companies do, in a bid to create a level-playing field.

Speaking at the India Mobile Conference, Mittal, who heads India’s second largest telecom firm Bharti Airtel, said existing telecom companies will take satellite services into the remotest parts.
