How does administratively assigning satellite spectrum differ from auctioning it?
Discuss the implications of satellite spectrum assignment approach proposed by Jyotiraditya Scindia.
1.
- Administratively assigning satellite spectrum involves the government directly allocating spectrum to specific satellite operators based on criteria such as national security or public interest, without a formal bidding process.
2. Auctioning satellite spectrum, on the other hand, involves competitive bidding where satellite operators bid for the spectrum, with the highest bidder winning the rights to use the spectrum.
3. The implications of the satellite spectrum assignment approach proposed by Jyotiraditya Scindia could include potential lack of transparency and competition in spectrum allocation, potentially leading to inefficiencies and suboptimal utilization of spectrum resources.
