![]() ![]() It would be a travesty of justice to equate the two in treatment of mode of allocation of spectrum resource,” BIF added. “Satellite services are therefore as miniscule as 1/500th or a mere 0.2% of the mobile operators’ revenue. On Jio and VIL’s argument of same rules, the Broadband India Forum (BIF) said the current annual revenue of Indian mobile operators is about `2.5 trillion whereas that of the Indian satellite VSAT operators is only around `500 crore. This will lead to non-utilisation in areas where another operator (who has a global assignment for the same spectrum) could have used it.

But Brazil, Mexico and the US later discontinued the auction system due to impracticality.īharti Airtel, which is part of Bharti Enterprises, the promoter of OneWeb, said, “The auction of orbital slots done in a few countries should not be confused with the auction of spectrum for satellite services.” Vodafone Idea said, “28 GHz band has already been assigned for IMT/5G in many countries including Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and US, and the same should also be made available in India for 5G/IMT to enable mobile operators to acquire adequate quantity of spectrum, to support present and future needs of variety of use cases.”įour countries - Brazil, Mexico, the US and Saudi Arabia - had come up with competitive spectrum allocation for space communications. The satellite spectrum in the band of 27.5-28.5 GHz is key for offering internet services in the far-flung areas. On the argument that satellite spectrum is used in a shared manner, Jio said due to the widespread geographic distribution of user terminals, it would be unfeasible for terminals deployed by different service providers to operate on the same frequency. “It can be established from various reports that services providers such as SpaceX, OneWeb, Kuiper, Telesat have an intent to create broadband communication services which would compete with terrestrial broadband services,” Jio said, adding that their explicit intention is to instigate competition with terrestrial networks and no preferential treatment should be given to them. ![]() Auctions can also result in higher prices for customers, as winning bidders pass through their spectrum acquisition on costs,” said Amazon’s Kuiper.Ĭountering such views, Jio and Vodafone have said that there should be same rules for assignment of spectrum for satellite and terrestrial networks as they compete with each other. “Auctioning spectrum used for satellite services in the higher frequency bands would block other potential users and artificially limit competition to only a few players.
