Reliance's letter, which is not public, is Mr Ambani's last-ditch effort in an ongoing face-off with Mr Musk over how India should grant spectrum for satellite services
Billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance has asked the telecom regulator to review the potential reach of Elon Musk's Starlink and Amazon's Kuiper before awarding satellite spectrum amid concerns local players could suffer, a letter showed on Friday.
Reliance's letter, which is not public, is Mr Ambani's last-ditch effort in an ongoing face-off with Mr Musk over how India should grant spectrum for satellite services. While Reliance has called for an auction, India has sided with Mr Musk who - in line with global trends - wanted an administrative allocation.
In the letter, reviewed by Reuters, Reliance said it carried about 15 billion gigabyte of data every month in India after spending about $23 billion on spectrum auctions over the years, but Starlink would target the same customers with a potential capacity of nearly 18 billion gigabyte of data via its satellites with a likely much lower outlay.
