Google’s Project Loon

Google India has approached DeitY to conduct pilot test of Project Loon in India in frequency band 700-900 MHz. DeitY had discussed the matter with all stakeholders and it was concluded that frequency band 700-900 MHz to be used in the pilot test of Project Loon is being used by cellular operators and if the pilot is carried out it will lead to interference with cellular transmissions. DeitY has asked Google to submit a revised proposal with change in frequency band.
