Bharti Airtel <\/a>and Reliance Jio\u2019s<\/a> agreements with SpaceX do not mean a free pass for Starlink\u2019s satellite communications (Satcom) services in India. According to Minister of Telecommunications Jyotiraditya Scindia,<\/i>the government has a very clear proforma which everyone needs to abide by, and the licence will be given only after these processes are complete, not only to Starlink, but any company that wants to set foot in Satcom services.<\/p>\n

Apart from Starlink, other global companies such as Amazon\u2019s Project Kuiper (agaon a US company) and Canada\u2019s Telesat are also looking to enter India\u2019s satellite space.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a very clear proforma (application process)… that\u2019s a very clear proforma, which everyone needs to abide by and as soon as that is done, the licence will be given out. And, as far as spectrum is concerned, the TRAI<\/a> (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) is exercising their mind on the pricing of the spectrum… that will be administratively assigned as per the Telecom Act,\u201d Scindia told businessline <\/i>in an interview. <\/p>\n

On Vodafone<\/h2>\n

On the fate of the debt-ridden Vodafone-Idea, the Telecom Minister said there must be \u201chealthy competition\u201d in the telecom market. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe (government) have a 23 per cent stake in Vodafone, and based on whatever the rules of the game are, every company has to comply with those rules going forward. It is a private sector company… The Government of India believes that there must be a healthy competition in the telecom market and there are a very few markets in the world that have four players. India is one such vibrant market, we have four players,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
