New Delhi, June 3 The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is expected to give its recommendations on the satellite radio policy guidelines in the next two days. The regulator is likely to keep broadly with its suggestion expressed in the draft policy, which included doubling the entry fee to Rs 5 crore. Currently, there is only one player in the sector — Word Space, the subscription-based radio operator.

The service uses a satellite system, providing encrypted digital radio signals directly to subscribers’ receiver sets. Two types of licences are being envisaged by the draft policy — one for the service provider (for carriage and broadcasting of channels) and the other for the radio channels (content providers).
