TRAI Recommends Administrative Spectrum Allocation for Satellite Internet

Imagine you want to build a new internet service using satellites.

Instead of having to bid in a costly auction to get the needed radio waves, India's telecom regulator, TRAI, says you can get them without one.

Companies like Starlink and Reliance Jio can now get access to these waves to provide satellite internet.

They will pay a small fee based on how much money they make.

This way, the satellite internet services can get started and grow faster.

The permission lasts for five years, with the possibility of extending it for another two years.

This makes it easier and cheaper for these companies to offer internet from space to people in India.
