RIL wants Trai to review satcom spectrum policy, in fresh clash with Elon Musk’s Starlink

Reliance pressed India’s telecom watchdog on Friday to reconsider its plan not to auction satellite spectrum but to simply allocate it, in a fresh clash with Elon Musk’s Starlink.

Telecom minister Jyotiraditya Scindia last month said the government would allocate spectrum administratively in line with global trends but a final notification on how spectrum is given out will come after Trai gives its feedback.
