Airtel, Jio Object to Spectrum Allocation for Starlink

Airtel, Jio Object to Spectrum Allocation for Starlink

Imagine the internet is like a race, and there are two teams: the regular internet (Airtel, Jio) and the satellite internet (Starlink).

The government made rules about how much each team pays to use the track (spectrum).

Now, Airtel and Jio think the new rules give Starlink an unfair advantage, like letting them pay less.

They say the rules are not clear and don't consider the real competition between the teams.

They also think the price to use the track should be the same for everyone.

Starlink is about to get a license, but the debate is still on about who pays what.
