The debate over satellite spectrum distribution in India has intensified, with Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio opposing Elon Musk's Starlink. Starlink, along with Amazon’s Project Kuiper, supports administrative allocation of spectrum, while Reliance pushes for an auction to ensure fair competition.
Jio argues that India’s telecom laws don’t support administrative allocation for home satellite broadband and has formally requested a restart of the consultation process.
