India Supports Musk in Satellite Spectrum Allocation Dispute
India has decided to allocate satellite spectrum through administrative means, aligning with Elon Musk's stance against auctioning. Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia emphasized that shared spectrum is a global practice and cannot be auctioned. This decision favors Musk's Starlink and Amazon's Project Kuiper, countering lobbying from major telecom operators like Reliance Jio. Musk previously warned that auctioning satellite spectrum would be unprecedented. The move intensifies competition for India's satellite internet market as industry leaders debate the future of spectrum allocation.
