<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>New Delhi: The telecom regulator wants suggestions on whether spectrum assignment for space communications should be done via auctions, the administrative route or any other model. It has also sought views on whether such airwaves allocation must happen at a national or a telecom circle-level.

The mode of allocation of satcom<\/a> airwaves has been a contentious one with satellite players, including the Bharti Group-backed OneWeb, categorically saying that satellite broadband spectrum should be given administratively as has been the practice in the rest of the world. Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea are opposing this.

But with the Department of Telecommunications<\/a> (DoT<\/a>) asking Trai<\/a> to recommend an auction model for space spectrum, the regulator has proposed several. It has also listed an auction design with exclusive spectrum assignment and another with non-exclusive assignment to a limited number of bidders.

Trai has also listed out a comprehensive set of 54 questions covering various aspects of space-based communications, including spectrum assignment, payment terms, block size per bidder amongst others. On auction of space spectrum, it has taken cues from the US and Brazil, which have conducted auctions for frequency spectrum in the past.

“USA and Brazil conducted an auction of satellite spectrum along with orbital slots…however, both have reverted to administrative assignment,” Trai said in the consultation paper issued on Thursday.

The regulator said it’s deliberating on the exercise of spectrum assignment for space-based communication services through a market mechanism for the first time, and that there is largely no international experience around auction of space spectrum barring a few cases where orbital slots along with spectrum have been auctioned.

Trai has also sought comments on reserve price and payment methodology for allocating spectrum for space communications. It has also invited views on limiting the number of non-NEO stationary orbit (NGSO) satellite systems players operating in low earth orbit (LEO) and medium earth orbit (MEO) for spacecom service operations to happen in a coordinated manner and on an equitable basis using the same frequency range.

There has been a clear divide among telecom operators regarding allocation of spectrum for satellite communications. Bharti Enterprises chairman Sunil Mittal, who is also executive chairman of OneWeb, which is backed by Bharti Group that runs telecom firm Airtel, has been very vocal about not auctioning satellite spectrum as the airwaves are shared and required only at a few locations.

The DoT, on its part, has urged Trai to assess the demand for space-based communication services and provide recommendations on the quantum of spectrum in each band required to be put to auction.

Accordingly, satellite broadband industry executives appeared dismayed about DoT strongly backing the auction of satellite spectrum. “We are rather surprised at the reference from DoT, which has been made despite international practice being overwhelmingly against such auctions,” T V Ramachandran, president, Broadband India Forum (BIF), told ET. The forum counts satellite biggies OneWeb and Hughes and tech biggies such as Cisco, Amazon, Google and Microsoft among its key members.

The important question, Ramanchandran said, is whether satcom auctions are at all practical and feasible.

“Going forward telcos will require more frequency in mid-band once 5G gets traction and later for 6G. Many countries including the US have already allocated spectrum till 4200 MHz for 5G,” an official said. “We will see how much more spectrum can be made available for 5G\/6G.”<\/p><\/div>
