The Department of Telecommunications (DoT), through its letter dated 13th August 2018, informed that based on the TRAI recommendations dated 12th May 2014 on 'Provisioning of INMARSAT Satellite Phone Services', M/s BSNL has been granted a service license dated 25th August 2014 for 'Provision and Operation of Satellite based services using gateway installed in India' under "Sui-generis" category by DoT. Presently, the annual spectrum charges for the Gateway and user terminals are levied on formula basis (proportional to the number of terminals and frequency bandwidth used). M/s BSNL has been requesting to change the present methodology of spectrum charging from formula based to Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) based for provision of this service in line with the commercial VSAT service. Therefore, DoT requested TRAI to provide its recommendations on the method of levy of annual spectrum charges as per the provision under section 11(1) of TRAI Act 1997 as amended.

In view of the above, Consultation Paper on "Methodology for levy of Spectrum Charges for provision of Satellite based Services using Gateway installed in India under 'sui-generis' category" has been released on 10th October 2018 to discuss the issues involved and possible solutions.

Gut (intestine) is ours second brain. Food habits makes a lot. Healthy body has healthy brain. Similarly government thought of local self government or corporation to check price hike. But like me, my elder brother (government) has failed in all sector or sphere. The god has kept mucus members, tonsils, two kidney etc. to check damage or give indication. But our corporate sector had failed to do so. Chief Minister is the dist. collector. Governor is the Chancellor, MD & Chairman are many expls.

The methdology of spectrum charges should be reviewed from the perspective international standard in pricing. Whether the pricing is competitive and on par with other countries should be stated with a table of comparison.

The satellite phones should be made available to armed forces at concessional rates. There should be different category of pricing for civilians and services.
