Trai nod for satcom spectrum soon

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) will issue its recommendation on satellite spectrum allocation methodology and other pending matters after the appointment of a regular chairperson, an official source said. The position of Trai chairperson has been vacant since October 1 after the tenure of PD Vaghela ended in September.

Trai member Meenakshi Gupta is handling the additional charge of chairperson of the regulatory body. “Trai chairperson will decide on the recommendation. We are almost ready with recommendations on satellite spectrum allocation but the final call will be taken by the chairperson,” a senior Trai official said.
