💨 Abstract

India's Communications Minister Jyotiraditya M Scindia announced in Parliament that satellite spectrum will be allocated administratively, not through auction, following global practices. This is due to the technical differences between mobile and satellite communications. Mobile technology requires spectrum auctions to prevent signal interference, while satellite communications use higher frequencies transmitted directly through fixed antennas, with no countries globally auctioning satellite spectrum.
