'Unjustifiably low' satcom spectrum price, says COAI
India's top telcos have slammed the satcom recommendations from the telecom regulator, terming the spectrum price as 'unjustifiably low' and said that the proposals are based on "incorrect assumptions" and are "non-transparent".In their first reaction to the recommendations given by Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) last month, all three bitter rival operators have closed ranks and said that if implemented in the current form, the regulator's satcom suggestions would create a non-level playing field and impact the sustainability of terrestrial services. In a strongly worded joint letter through the Cellular Operators Association of India ( COAI ) to various government authorities, seen by ET, the carriers highlighted data and said the planned capacity of Elon Musk-owned Starlink and Jeff Bezos led-Amazon Kuiper are set to surpass the current capacity of Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea. "These recommendations are non-transparent based on non-justifiable assumption rather than factual data," the telcos said in the letter, marked to Trai, Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Finance Ministry, Commerce ministry, Ministry of Electronics and IT (Meity) and Niti Aayog etc. The operators have said the proposed spectrum charges are even lower than the administrative fees currently levied on GSO-based VSAT services-which do not compete with terrestrial networks. "It appears that Trai has underestimated the potential capacities of satellite network while possibly overstating those of terrestrial networks that have resulted in a flawed foundation for the entire exercise," the letter said, adding this fundamental flaw in the capacity assumptions exercise undermines the DoT's clear mandate to ensure competitive parity between satellite and terrestrial services. Trai had recommended the administrative allocation of satcom spectrum for a fee pegged at 4% of adjusted gross revenue (AGR) to be assigned for five years. There won't be any upfront fee for getting spectrum. Trai chairman AK Lahoti had categorically rejected the level-playing field argument by telcos, stating that the two technologies were different and that satellites could only be complementary. "It's not factually correct that satcom services are competing with terrestrial services because there is a huge difference between the capacity of the terrestrial network and the satellite network," he had said while releasing the recommendations. The telcos, however, feel the entire exercise was flawed as it was based on incorrect assumptions. "Despite a clear mandate from DoT, Trai's consultation process and final recommendations do not appear to address the core issue of competitive parity which shows a misalignment between the intent of DoT references and Trai's approach during the consultation process," the telcos said. The additional proposal by Trai to subsidise user terminals or satellite operators through the Digital Bharat Nidhi (DBN) fund further tilts the level playing field against the terrestrial operator, especially given that a majority of the DBN levy is contributed by telcos.

ECB set for 7th rate cut again as Donald Trump trade war rumbles on
The European Central Bank is likely to announce its seventh consecutive interest rate cut this week as the eurozone economy struggles under slowing inflation and uncertainty fueled by US President Donald Trump 's shifting trade policies. Prior to Trump's fluctuating tariff impositions globally, the ECB had been reducing borrowing costs in response to declining inflation rates. Concerns about economic performance in the 20 euro-using nations have become more prominent than inflation worries, as elevated rates have affected both commercial entities and consumers. The impact of Trump's tariffs has created additional pressure. Europe faces scrutiny due to its substantial trade surplus with the United States, raising concerns about potential negative effects on European exporters. HSBC anticipates a rate reduction at Thursday's ECB governing council meeting, citing the eurozone's deteriorated short-term outlook following recent US tariff announcements. Financial experts anticipate another quarter-point decrease, which would adjust the Frankfurt-based institution's primary deposit rate to two percent. However, specialists suggest this June reduction might conclude the current sequence, with the ECB likely taking a pause in July to evaluate recent economic trends. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The ECB's reduction strategy contrasts with the US Federal Reserve's approach, which has maintained steady rates amid concerns about Trump's tariffs potentially increasing inflation. The EU currently faces multiple tariff levels from Trump's administration, including a 10-percent baseline rate and 25-percent duties on vehicles, steel and aluminium. Trump has temporarily suspended higher tariffs on the EU and other trading partners during negotiations, temporarily reducing market tensions. However, indicating ongoing trade tensions, he recently threatened a 50-percent tariff on the EU, before postponing the decision to July 9. ECB President Christine Lagarde expressed concern in Berlin, stating that the US-led global economic structure was "fracturing". The ECB faces challenges in safeguarding the eurozone from Trump's unpredictable trade policies while maintaining stable inflation. Eurozone inflation reached 2.2 percent in April, marginally exceeding the ECB's two-percent target. Eurostat will release May's inflation figures on Tuesday before the ECB meeting. Recent indicators suggest faster-than-anticipated reduction in price pressures, and the ECB is likely to revise its inflation forecasts downward on Thursday. Analysts generally believe Trump's tariffs will further decrease eurozone inflation, particularly as China might redirect low-cost products to Europe to avoid US duties. The ECB is expected to reduce growth projections on Thursday due to trade war effects, following the EU's recent forecast reductions. While markets await Lagarde's guidance about future ECB actions, analysts suggest current uncertainties will limit detailed revelations.
