Auction Models News Today

Telecom Regulatory Authority Of India: Given the fact that satellite spectrum is a shared resource, the regulator is looking at the option of non-exclusive assignment of spectrum in case it decides to go ahead with the auction model. However, charting out modalities for such a model looks difficult, said officials.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) is analysing three to four auction models for satellite spectrum, including the ones proposed by Elon Musk-owned Starlink and Reliance Jio. As per officials, the regulator will see what could be the best way to allocate spectrum - auction or administrative - after seeing a result of the auction analysis.
