Synopsis New draft rules from the Department of Telecommunications will allow administrative spectrum assignment for state-run firms like BSNL and MTNL, law enforcement, and private satellite/broadcasting companies. These rules specifically apply to geostationary orbit (GSO) satellite users, including VSAT and teleport operators, with spectrum fees set at 3-4% of adjusted gross revenue. Non-GSO players like Starlink are awaiting separate pricing and approval processes.
