Spectrum allocation means more user choices: Jyotiraditya Scindia

India’s decision to allocate satellite spectrum, rather than auction it, will give consumers more choice, the telecoms minister said on Monday, playing down concern by Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio that it could lose out to Elon Musk’s Starlink.

Starlink has long wanted to launch in India and has in recent months clashed with billionaire Ambani’s company over how the country should grant spectrum for satellite services.
