Satellite internet providers to pay 5% spectrum fee in India
The Indian government has greenlit a 5% AGR-based spectrum usage fee for satellite broadband companies like Starlink, OneWeb, and Jio Satellite. A 1% rebate will be offered for operations in specific remote regions. These companies will receive spectrum through administrative allocation for an initial five-year term, which can be renewed for another two years. While this move removes a significant regulatory barrier for satellite internet, firms still need to secure additional clearances.
