Tata group’s Nelco opposes telecom operators’ stance on spectrum sharing

Satellite communications service provider Nelco, a Tata group company, has opposed telecom operators’ stance on spectrum sharing and said that spectrum should be used only for purposes it is assigned.

Submitting counter comments to the telecom regulator’s consultation paper, the company and industry body SatCom Industry Association (SIA) India argued that the satcom spectrum is limited and hence sharing it with telcos would hamper the growth of the sat-com sector.
