How the exam will ask it

ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್

  • TRAI's recommendations to the Government on authorisations are advisory and not binding on the DoT.
  • The Telecommunications Act, 2023 replaced the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885.
  • TRAI has recommended a dedicated authorisation for Satellite Communication Network providers.

ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS3 (Science and Technology, telecom). Issue: satcom needs a clear licensing route; the Telecommunications Act, 2023 provides the authorisation framework and TRAI has proposed a dedicated satellite network provider authorisation. Implication: the DoT can accept, modify or reject this advice, so regulatory clarity depends on its decision; the way forward is timely notification of rules that balance competition, spectrum and security.
