卫星宽带将给印度电信行业带来下一次颠覆
卫星通信产业在印度尚处于起步阶段，但有潜力在地面移动或光纤无法到达的未连接地区彻底改变连接。随着服务变得无处不在，消费者的成本将下降，这意味着消费者的负担能力将增强，卫星带宽成本将降低。
印度号称拥有世界第二大互联网用户，以最低的关税拥有6亿网民。但是，那些不能上网的人怎么办呢?这个数字令人难以置信，因为这占了印度13亿人口的一半。
在新冠疫情爆发后，印度的这种数字鸿沟进一步恶化。在这种前所未有的情况下，在家工作和学习成为新常态，获得良好的互联网连接成为一种基本需求。
由于广阔的市场规模和广阔的前景，印度已成为全球企业推出高速、低延迟卫星宽带服务的中心舞台。难怪苏尼尔·米塔尔支持OneWeb，埃隆·马斯克SpaceX公司以及杰夫·贝佐斯的亚马逊都有雄心勃勃的计划，要探索印度人尚未开发的潜力卫星通信市场。
但这不会是轻而易举的事。频谱和许可问题的明确政策仍在制定中。卫星运营商和电信运营商在频谱分配问题上针锋相对——前者不赞成任何形式的拍卖。就连卫星运营商要求的频率也暂时被指定用于即将到来的5G服务。更不用说高昂的数据成本和无法负担得起的手持设备。
铁砧上有一场大战。
火热的卫星宽带市场
OneWeb是巴蒂环球(Bharti Global)和英国政府的合资企业，有望在2022年通过648颗近地轨道卫星提供全面的全球覆盖。该公司预计从2022年5月开始在印度提供服务。
亚马逊最近收购了Facebook的卫星互联网团队，团队中有十几位专家。这笔交易将推动亚马逊斥资100亿美元开发近地轨道卫星的努力。亚马逊于2020年7月获得联邦通信委员会批准，根据“柯伊伯计划”发射3236颗卫星。该公司计划在将578颗卫星送入轨道后，将其卫星互联网服务上线。不过亚马逊尚未宣布在印度的任何具体计划。
SpaceX已经开始接受预订，提供Starlink卫星互联网服务的测试版。在印度，这需要99美元(超过7000卢比)的可退还押金。
据《财富》杂志报道，到2028年，卫星通信(satcom)市场预计将达到465亿美元，而2021年预计为253.3亿美元乐动ldsports ．
未开发的印度潜力
电信运营商一直在努力将互联网覆盖到该国的各个角落，但扩张和建立发射塔的高昂成本是一个巨大的阻碍。通过各种促销活动，电信公司正试图将功能手机用户转移到智能手机上，但这条路漫长而崎岖。就连政府及其雄心勃勃的BharatNet项目也试图通过光纤连接克村务委员会。
专家表示，卫星宽带可能是解决这个问题的答案，它将降低服务提供商的成本，同时为所有人提供互联网服务。尽管在制定了清晰的政策路线图之后，手持设备的匮乏和高昂的数据成本仍将是一个障碍。印度的卫星宽带费率为每GB 15-20美元，是4G移动数据0.68美元的近30倍。
印度卫星通信公司今天所处的位置，与1999年国家电信政策(National Telecom Policy)出台之前移动服务的位置相同。1999年国家电信政策放开了电信行业。最初，语音通话和后来的数据的价格相当高，但竞争的加剧和高需求使其达到了目前的水平。同时，这也降低了手机的价格。
“一旦政府允许B2C市场运作，手持卫星通信终端的使用将开始发挥作用。有了充分的竞争，考虑到印度市场的规模，我们可以看到推出价格合理的设备，这些设备能够以可互换的方式使用地面技术和卫星通信，以最大限度地提高它们的连通性。印度宽带论坛主席TV Ramachandran说。
他说:“这与该国的移动服务和设备发生的情况完全相同，我们预计卫星通信也会出现同样的结果。”
普拉布·拉姆，负责人行业CMR情报集团表示:“在大流行后时代，通过卫星宽带连接未连接的人具有巨大的潜力和前景。卫星宽带有可能打开相对新的市场，同时为现有城市市场的高质量服务客户带来新的竞争性价值主张。”
“卫星宽带可能有两种市场方式，这取决于潜在的目标受众。第一种是直接面向消费者，而另一种则涉及为企业提供专用的、可靠的宽带连接接入。企业用例可能包括远程医疗保健到智能农业技术，从供应链管理到灾害管理，以及实现运输行业的快速互联网连接等等。”Ram说。
目前，在印度，卫星通信主要允许在B2B部门，而不是B2C部门。从VSAT(卫星互连点)到卫星的最后一英里连接是通过有线或无线连接。B2C可以在灾难恢复和紧急操作的特殊许可证下使用。
Ookla首席执行官兼联合创始人Doug Suttles:“在缺乏光纤连接的情况下，卫星通信是一个可行的选择。在美国，通过卫星的宽带已经投入使用，但很难持续保持连接。基于光纤的连接随时都可能成为主流。”
他补充说，由于印度仍有一半人口无法连接互联网，基于卫星的宽带可能会改变游戏规则，将全国各地的人连接起来。
频谱分配之争
一场围绕卫星通信宽带服务频谱分配的大战已经愈演愈烈。卫星通信运营商希望政府以行政方式分配频谱，而电信公司则希望通过拍卖的方式分配频谱。
卫星工业协会(SIA)和宽带印度论坛(BIF)都在倡导频谱的行政分配。
Bharti企业董事长米塔尔(Sunil Mittal)在最近的一次活动中表示，没有理由
卫星通信服务频谱拍卖。“我们使用的不是地面频谱。这并不是在全国各地都能使用。这只会在两个着陆站在那些特定的点上。在世界范围内，从未有过卫星频谱拍卖。”
BIF主席TV Ramachandran回应了类似的观点，他说:“在世界范围内，卫星频谱由所有行政部门授权‘使用权’，并且仅通过行政程序进行分配，其费用基本上覆盖了行政成本。与地面频谱不同的是，卫星频谱从来不是专门分配给运营商的，而是在国际上进行协调，并在多个运营商之间为不同轨道槽和所有类型的卫星共享。因此，地球上的排他性概念不适用，因此拍卖也不适用。”
然而，Reliance Jio和Vodafone Idea在向TRAI提交的关于低比特率应用卫星连接许可框架的咨询文件中，提出了拍卖频谱的理由。
任何能够用于移动/竞争性服务的频谱波段都应严格通过拍卖进行分配，地面和卫星运营商都应被允许参加这种拍卖。Reliance Jio表示，这些运营商应该可以自由选择是将其用于地面网络还是卫星网络。
Jio对Trai说:“此外，即使是Geo/Meo卫星的Ka/Ku/C波段频谱分配也只能通过拍卖来完成。”
沃达丰Idea在提交给印度铁道部的文件中表示，为了确保宝贵和稀缺的自然资源得到最佳利用，用于卫星服务的频谱应该在分配之前进行拍卖。“任何其他行政拨款都会给国家财政造成巨大损失。”
除了频谱分配，甚至卫星服务的频段也成为一个问题。政府为拍卖5G频段保留的频段正在全球范围内用于卫星服务。
SIA总干事Anil Prakash表示，国际电联尚未将ka频段27.5-29.5 GHz频段确定为IMT/5G。该频段在WRC-19会议上被排除在外，因为卫星运营商广泛使用该频段，而且已经投资了数十亿美元用于100多颗ka波段卫星，以服务印度和亚太地区。

前进的道路
据专家称，卫星通信市场在这个十年中将增长到500亿美元。
一项新的太空通信政策正在制定中。
政府去年宣布，根据新的太空通信政策，它将为私人卫星制造商、卫星发射器和天基服务提供商创造一个公平的竞争环境。
今年3月，电信监管机构Trai发布了一份关于低比特率应用卫星连接许可框架的咨询文件。一旦提出建议，电信部门就会加盖最后一章。与此同时，电信部门与卫星公司、电信运营商和其他公司就本地设备制造进行了会谈。
根据专家的说法，宽松的监管卫星通信行业是当务之急。该行业需要直接参与和开放的市场准入，允许竞争压低价格，并采取最少的政府干预措施。
国家服务提供商在获取外国能力方面存在局限性，这既昂贵又长期不可持续。
印度的卫星运营商说，他们不能直接从外国卫星运营商那里租用带宽容量。美国航天局批准了卫星租赁，最终的租赁成本提高了15-20%，使得卫星互联网服务变得昂贵。据估计，印度的卫星带宽租赁成本约为7.5万卢比/ Mbps /月，是全球平均水平7500卢比的10倍。
“目前的监管环境阻碍了本地和国际投资者投资基础设施的兴趣。宽松的监管、单一窗口通关等，对于邀请国际投资者在印度基础设施领域建立和投资大有帮助。”
卫星通信也可以用于城市和密集的城市地区，作为一种具有成本竞争力的地面技术选择，这可以通过政策和监管制度的轻微调整来实现。这将需要开放天空，为外国和本土产能提供平等的机会，从而减少该行业人为的供应紧张。容量的买方和卖方之间的直接谈判，以及使用现代卫星通信技术的许可，以及在云中托管核心网络的选项。
卫星通信产业在印度尚处于起步阶段，但有潜力在地面移动或光纤无法到达的未连接地区彻底改变连接。随着服务变得无处不在，消费者的成本将下降，这意味着消费者的负担能力将增强，卫星带宽成本将降低。

<\/figure>India boasts of having the world's second largest number of internet users at 600 million at the lowest tariffs. But, what about people who don\u2019t have any access to the internet? The number is mind boggling as this constitutes half of Indian population which stands at 1.3 billion.
This digital divide in India has worsened post the onset of Covid 19 pandemic. Access to a good internet connection became a basic need in such an unprecedented scenario where working and studying from home became the new normal.
Owing to the vast market size and huge prospect, India has become the centerstage for launch of high speed, low latency satellite broadband services by global players. No wonder, Sunil Mittal-backed OneWeb<\/a>, Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX<\/a> and Jeff Bezos\u2019s Amazon have ambitious plans to explore the untapped potential of the Indian satcom<\/a> market.
<\/div><\/div>Precisely why, satellite communications<\/a> in India is being touted as the next big technological revolution to solve the country\u2019s digital divide i.e connect the unconnected, allowing everyone to come under the ambit of internet services.
But it will not be a cake walk. A clear policy for spectrum and licensing issues is still in the making. Satellite operators and telecom players have locked horns on allotment of spectrum -- the former is not in favour of any auction. Even the frequencies asked by satellite operators have been tentatively earmarked for the upcoming 5G services. And not to mention, high data costs and unavailability of affordable handheld devices.
A big fight is on the anvil.
BUZZING SATELLITE BROADBAND MARKET <\/strong>
OneWeb, a venture between Bharti Global and the UK government, is on track to offer full global coverage in 2022 with an LEO constellation of 648 satellites. It expects to start offering services in India from May 2022.
Amazon has recently acquired Facebook\u2019s satellite internet team with over a dozen experts. The deal will give a boost to Amazon\u2019s $10 billion effort to develop low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Amazon had received Federal Communications Commission\u2019s approval in July 2020 to launch 3,236 satellites under \u2018Project Kuiper\u2019. The company plans to take its satellite internet services online after launching 578 satellites into orbit. Amazon though is yet to announce any India specific plans.

SpaceX is already offering a beta version of its Starlink satellite internet service on pre-orders. This comes with a refundable deposit of $99 (more than Rs 7,000) in India.
The satellite communications (satcom) market is expected to hit $46.5 billion by 2028, from a projected $25.33 billion in 2021, according to Fortune Insights<\/a>.
UNTAPPED INDIA POTENTIAL<\/strong>
Telecom operators have been trying hard to take internet coverage to the nook and corner of the country but the high cost of expansion and setting up towers is a big dampener. Through various offers, telecom players, though, are trying to shift feature phone users to smartphones -- but the road is long and bumpy. Even the government with its ambitious project BharatNet has been trying to connect gram panchayats through fiber.
Experts say satellite broadband could be the answer for this - which will lower costs for service providers while simultaneously providing internet reach to all. Though even after a clear policy roadmap, which is in the making, the dearth of handheld devices and high data costs will still be an impediment. Satellite broadband rates in India are at $15-20 per GB which is nearly 30 times that of 4G mobile data at $0.68.
Satcom in India today stands at the same place where mobile services were prior to the introduction of the landmark National Telecom Policy 1999, which liberalised the telecom sector. Initially, the prices for voice calls and later data was substantially high but increased competition and high demand brought it to the current levels. In conjunction, this brought down mobile handset prices as well.
\u201cOnce the government delicenses and permits the B2C market to operate, the use of handheld satcom terminals will come into play. With adequate competition and given the size of the Indian market, we could see the introduction of affordable devices which are capable of using terrestrial technologies and satcom in an interchangeable manner to maximise their connectivity. A policy shift will be required,\u201d TV Ramachandran, President, Broadband India Forum said.
This is the exact same thing that happened with mobile services and devices in the country and we expect the same outcome for satcom as well, he said.
Prabhu Ram, Head Industry<\/a> Intelligence Group, CMR says, \u201cIn the post-pandemic era, connecting the unconnected via satellite broadband holds significant potential and promise. Satellite broadband can potentially open-up relatively new markets , while bringing new competitive value propositions to demanding customers in already-existing urban markets in terms of better quality of service.\u201d
\u201cThere could be two market approaches for satellite broadband, depending on the potential target audience. The first is direct-to-consumer, while the other would involve providing dedicated and reliable broadband connectivity access to enterprises. Enterprise use cases could range from remote healthcare to smart agritech, from supply chain management to disaster management, and enabling fast internet connectivity to the transportation industry, among others,\u201d Ram said.
Currently, in India satellite communications are permitted primarily in the B2B sector and not the B2C sector. The last mile connectivity from the VSAT (Point of interconnection to the Satellite) is through either a wired or wireless connection. B2C is allowed under special licenses for disaster recovery and emergency operations.
Doug Suttles, CEO and Co-founder- Ookla: \"Satcom is a viable option where there is lack of fiber connectivity. In the US, broadband through satellite is already operational but it's hard to maintain connectivity consistently. Fiber based connectivity would be on top anyday. \"
With half of the population in India still not connected to the internet, satellite-based broadband could be a game changer to connect people across the country, he added.

FIGHT OVER ALLOCATION OF SPECTRUM<\/strong>
A big fight over allocation of spectrum for satcom broadband services is already gathering steam. Satcom operators want the government to allocate spectrum administratively while telecom players want it to be auctioned.
Both the Satellite Industry Association (SIA) and Broadband India Forum (BIF) have been advocating an administrative allocation of spectrum.
Bharti Enterprise Chairman Sunil Mittal in a recent event said there is no case for
auction of spectrum for satcom services. \u201cThis is not a terrestrial spectrum being used. This is not going to be used in every part of the country. This is going to be only in two landing stations at those specific points. World over, there has never been an auction for satellite spectrum.\"
Echoing similar views, TV Ramachandran, President, BIF said, \u201cWorld over, satellite spectrum is authorised for \u2018right-to-use\u2019 by all administrations and is allocated only by administrative process, at charges that essentially cover the cost of administration. Unlike terrestrial spectrum, satellite spectrum is never exclusively assigned to the operator but coordinated internationally and shared among multiple operators for different orbital slots and all types of satellites. Thus, the terrestrial concept of exclusivity does not apply and auctioning therefore is not applicable.\u201d
However, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea in their submissions to TRAI on its consultation paper on licensing framework for satellite-based connectivity for low bit rate applications made a case for auction of spectrum.
Any spectrum band capable of being used for mobile\/competing services should be assigned strictly through auction and both terrestrial and satellite operators should be allowed to participate in that auction. These operators should be free to choose whether they want to use it for terrestrial or satellite-based network, Reliance Jio said.
\u201cFurther, assignment of even Ka\/Ku\/C band spectrum for Geo\/Meo satellite must be done through auction only,\u201d Jio said to Trai.
Vodafone Idea, in its submission to Trai, said to ensure optimum utilisation of precious and scarce natural resource, spectrum to be used for satellite-based services should be put to auction route only before allocations. \u201cAny other administrative allocations would cause huge loss to the national exchequer.\u201d
Apart from assignment of spectrum, even frequency band for satellite services is becoming an issue. The band which the government has kept for auction of 5G spectrum is being used for satellite services globally.
SIA Director General Anil Prakash said the Ka-band 27.5-29.5 GHz band has not been identified by the ITU for IMT\/5G. This band was excluded at WRC-19 in recognition of the extensive use of the band by satellite operators and that billions of dollars have been invested in over 100+ Ka-band satellites to serve India and the Asia-Pacific region.

WAY FORWARD<\/strong>
The satcom market could grow to $50 billion in this decade, according to experts.
A new spacecom policy is in the making.
The Government, last year, had announced that it would create a level-playing field for private satellite builders, satellite launchers and space-based service providers under the new space communication policy.
Telecom regulator Trai in March this year came out with a consultation paper on Licensing Framework for Satellite-based connectivity for low bit rate applications. Once recommendations are given, the department of telecommunications will give a final stamp. Meanwhile, the department of telecommunications has met satellite companies, telecom operators and others on local equipment manufacturing.
According to experts, a light-touch regulation for the Satcom industry<\/a> is the need of the hour. The sector requires direct engagement and open market access, allowing competition to drive down prices and a minimal government hands-on approach.
There are limitations in acquiring foreign capacity by national service providers, which is both expensive and unsustainable in the long term.
Players in India say they can\u2019t directly lease bandwidth capacity from foreign satellite operators. The approvals come from the Department of Space which pushes up final leasing costs by as much as 15-20%, making satellite internet services expensive. According to estimates, satellite bandwidth leasing cost in India is at around Rs 75,000 per Mbps per month is 10 times the global average of Rs 7,500.
\u201cThe current regulatory environment hinders the interest of local and international players in investing in infrastructure facilities. A light touch regulation, single-window clearances etc. go a long way in inviting international players to establish and invest in the national infrastructure play,\u201d Prakash said.
Satcom can be used in urban and dense urban areas too as a cost competitive option to terrestrial technologies which can happen with a slight tweak in the policy and regulatory regime. This will require opening of the skies to permit equal opportunities for foreign and indigenous capacity, thereby reducing the artificial supply crunch in the sector. Direct negotiations between the buyer of the capacity and the seller and permission to use modern satcom technologies with options of hosting the core network in the cloud.
The Satcom industry is at its nascent stage in India but has the potential to revolutionise connectivity in unconnected areas where terrestrial mobile or fiber cant reach. And the costs for consumers will come down as services become ubiquitous, translating into increased affordability and decreased satellite bandwidth costs.

WAY FORWARD<\/strong>
The satcom market could grow to $50 billion in this decade, according to experts.
A new spacecom policy is in the making.
The Government, last year, had announced that it would create a level-playing field for private satellite builders, satellite launchers and space-based service providers under the new space communication policy.
Telecom regulator Trai in March this year came out with a consultation paper on Licensing Framework for Satellite-based connectivity for low bit rate applications. Once recommendations are given, the department of telecommunications will give a final stamp. Meanwhile, the department of telecommunications has met satellite companies, telecom operators and others on local equipment manufacturing.
According to experts, a light-touch regulation for the Satcom industry<\/a> is the need of the hour. The sector requires direct engagement and open market access, allowing competition to drive down prices and a minimal government hands-on approach.
There are limitations in acquiring foreign capacity by national service providers, which is both expensive and unsustainable in the long term.
Players in India say they can\u2019t directly lease bandwidth capacity from foreign satellite operators. The approvals come from the Department of Space which pushes up final leasing costs by as much as 15-20%, making satellite internet services expensive. According to estimates, satellite bandwidth leasing cost in India is at around Rs 75,000 per Mbps per month is 10 times the global average of Rs 7,500.
\u201cThe current regulatory environment hinders the interest of local and international players in investing in infrastructure facilities. A light touch regulation, single-window clearances etc. go a long way in inviting international players to establish and invest in the national infrastructure play,\u201d Prakash said.
Satcom can be used in urban and dense urban areas too as a cost competitive option to terrestrial technologies which can happen with a slight tweak in the policy and regulatory regime. This will require opening of the skies to permit equal opportunities for foreign and indigenous capacity, thereby reducing the artificial supply crunch in the sector. Direct negotiations between the buyer of the capacity and the seller and permission to use modern satcom technologies with options of hosting the core network in the cloud.
The Satcom industry is at its nascent stage in India but has the potential to revolutionise connectivity in unconnected areas where terrestrial mobile or fiber cant reach. And the costs for consumers will come down as services become ubiquitous, translating into increased affordability and decreased satellite bandwidth costs.

WAY FORWARD<\/strong>
The satcom market could grow to $50 billion in this decade, according to experts.
A new spacecom policy is in the making.
The Government, last year, had announced that it would create a level-playing field for private satellite builders, satellite launchers and space-based service providers under the new space communication policy.
Telecom regulator Trai in March this year came out with a consultation paper on Licensing Framework for Satellite-based connectivity for low bit rate applications. Once recommendations are given, the department of telecommunications will give a final stamp. Meanwhile, the department of telecommunications has met satellite companies, telecom operators and others on local equipment manufacturing.
According to experts, a light-touch regulation for the Satcom industry<\/a> is the need of the hour. The sector requires direct engagement and open market access, allowing competition to drive down prices and a minimal government hands-on approach.
There are limitations in acquiring foreign capacity by national service providers, which is both expensive and unsustainable in the long term.
Players in India say they can\u2019t directly lease bandwidth capacity from foreign satellite operators. The approvals come from the Department of Space which pushes up final leasing costs by as much as 15-20%, making satellite internet services expensive. According to estimates, satellite bandwidth leasing cost in India is at around Rs 75,000 per Mbps per month is 10 times the global average of Rs 7,500.
\u201cThe current regulatory environment hinders the interest of local and international players in investing in infrastructure facilities. A light touch regulation, single-window clearances etc. go a long way in inviting international players to establish and invest in the national infrastructure play,\u201d Prakash said.
Satcom can be used in urban and dense urban areas too as a cost competitive option to terrestrial technologies which can happen with a slight tweak in the policy and regulatory regime. This will require opening of the skies to permit equal opportunities for foreign and indigenous capacity, thereby reducing the artificial supply crunch in the sector. Direct negotiations between the buyer of the capacity and the seller and permission to use modern satcom technologies with options of hosting the core network in the cloud.
The Satcom industry is at its nascent stage in India but has the potential to revolutionise connectivity in unconnected areas where terrestrial mobile or fiber cant reach. And the costs for consumers will come down as services become ubiquitous, translating into increased affordability and decreased satellite bandwidth costs.

The satcom market could grow to $50 billion in this decade, according to experts.
A new spacecom policy is in the making.
The Government, last year, had announced that it would create a level-playing field for private satellite builders, satellite launchers and space-based service providers under the new space communication policy.
Telecom regulator Trai in March this year came out with a consultation paper on Licensing Framework for Satellite-based connectivity for low bit rate applications. Once recommendations are given, the department of telecommunications will give a final stamp. Meanwhile, the department of telecommunications has met satellite companies, telecom operators and others on local equipment manufacturing.
According to experts, a light-touch regulation for the Satcom industry<\/a> is the need of the hour. The sector requires direct engagement and open market access, allowing competition to drive down prices and a minimal government hands-on approach.
There are limitations in acquiring foreign capacity by national service providers, which is both expensive and unsustainable in the long term.
Players in India say they can\u2019t directly lease bandwidth capacity from foreign satellite operators. The approvals come from the Department of Space which pushes up final leasing costs by as much as 15-20%, making satellite internet services expensive. According to estimates, satellite bandwidth leasing cost in India is at around Rs 75,000 per Mbps per month is 10 times the global average of Rs 7,500.
\u201cThe current regulatory environment hinders the interest of local and international players in investing in infrastructure facilities. A light touch regulation, single-window clearances etc. go a long way in inviting international players to establish and invest in the national infrastructure play,\u201d Prakash said.
Satcom can be used in urban and dense urban areas too as a cost competitive option to terrestrial technologies which can happen with a slight tweak in the policy and regulatory regime. This will require opening of the skies to permit equal opportunities for foreign and indigenous capacity, thereby reducing the artificial supply crunch in the sector. Direct negotiations between the buyer of the capacity and the seller and permission to use modern satcom technologies with options of hosting the core network in the cloud.
The Satcom industry is at its nascent stage in India but has the potential to revolutionise connectivity in unconnected areas where terrestrial mobile or fiber cant reach. And the costs for consumers will come down as services become ubiquitous, translating into increased affordability and decreased satellite bandwidth costs.
