Elon Musk takes on Ambani over satellite spectrum allocation in India

Starlink CEO Elon Musk has said that opting to auction satellite broadband spectrum in India, rather than allocating it administratively, would be an "unprecedented" move. His comments position him against Mukesh Ambani's perspective on the matter, as reports indicate that Ambani's Reliance Industries has lobbied for the auction route.

The disagreement centres on whether the spectrum should be auctioned or allocated administratively, with both sides presenting interpretations of international and Indian regulations.
