BENGALURU (Reuters) – India will allot the spectrum for satellite internet via an administrative process instead of an auction, telecommunications minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Tuesday.
His comments came after calls from India’s top telecom operators Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel to rely on auction for awarding spectrum for satellite services in India, as it is currently for the telecom sector.
