<h1>Government funds Rs900 crore national satellite monitoring facility, raising spectrum allocation, security oversight, and compliance questions for operators</h1> The government has allocated about Rs 900 crore to create a national satellite-communication monitoring facility intended to protect state data resources and spectrum assets. Regulators have issued licences to three private satellite broadband constellations, which remain pending spectrum allocations necessary for service launch. The initiative raises regulatory and compliance issues including spectrum assignment timelines, national-security oversight of gateways and monitoring powers, licensing conditions for private operators, and obligations to ensure universal service objectives. The investment and regulatory steps signal prioritization of satcom infrastructure and assert state monitoring authority ahead of commercial rollout.
