India's telecom regulator plans to recommend that satellite broadband spectrum be allotted for around five years to assess initial market adoption, defying Elon Musk's Starlink, which is seeking a 20-year permit,

The Indian government has requested Starlink to set up a local control centre to ensure national security and regulatory compliance. This move comes as Starlink’s application for a satellite communication license nears final approval.

By signing deals with India’s two biggest telecom players, the tech tycoon and Trump adviser has improved his odds of breaking into an enormous market.

Indias telecom regulator, TRAI, is set to recommend a five-year allocation for satellite broadband spectrum, challenging Elon Musks Starlink, which sought a 20-year permit. This move aims to assess market adoption

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is set to propose that satellite spectrum licenses be allotted for an initial period of under five years, rejecting Starlink’s request for a 20-year permit.

TRAI is set to recommend a five-year timeframe for satellite spectrum licenses, enabling market assessment and price adjustments. This stance opposes Elon Musk's 20-year request, as Jio and Airtel push for shorter licensing durations amid emerging collaborations.
