<h1>Satellite Communication Firms Face 4% Revenue Charge and Rs 500 Urban Subscriber Fee Under New Regulatory Framework</h1> Telecom regulator Trai recommended satellite communication companies pay 4% of adjusted gross revenue as spectrum charges, with an additional Rs 500 per urban subscriber annually. The proposal includes an 8% license fee and potential subsidies for user terminals in rural areas. Trai emphasized that satellite services will complement, not compete with, terrestrial services.
