Telcos attempting to block satellite services India entry: BIF
The New Indian Express Nagapattinam
|June 20, 2025
The ongoing dispute between Indian telecom service providers and satellite communications (satcom) operators has further intensified, as the Broadband India Forum (BIF)—an association of Big Tech and satellite companies—has written a letter to the government accusing telcos of attempting to block entry of next-generation satellite services into India.
BIF, whose members include Google, Meta, OneWeb, Hughes, Amazon, and Tata's Nelco, addressed the letter to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) Secretary, Neeraj Mittal. The letter stated the telcos' claim of a "level playing field" are unfounded in the current context, based on inaccurate data, and incorrect in law.
