Satellite internet coming to India next year, TRAI to finalise its recommendation by December 15
India TV NewsThe telecom regulator in India, known as TRAI, is expected to finalise its recommendations on new rules for satellite communications by December 15. This decision is important as it will help the government determine how to allocate the radio waves needed for satellite companies to offer internet services from space, which could lead to expanded satellite-based broadband in the country. During the open forum, Jio and Airtel joined forces to advocate for fair competition, arguing that the same rules should apply to everyone as India formulates its regulations for satellite communications. Jio has even sought legal advice suggesting that TRAI’s current plans for satellite spectrum allocation do not adequately address fairness with ground-based telecom networks.
