The telecom companies in India have been long limited by the towers and the limited capacity. Further, the financial crunch has limited their prowess for deploying expensive equipment across the country to boost capacity. Bringing a cure to this issue, DoT, in the latest turn of events, has allowed the usage of VSAT operators to provide satellite-based cellular connectivity to telecom companies. This means that the capacity of the telecom companies can be improved simply by using VSAT technology without the need to deploying any additional equipment.

DCC Holding On the Recommendations of TRAI
The Digital Communications Commission (DCC), headed by Telecom Secretary Anshu Prakash, was the body to finally grant permission to allow VSAT usage for expanding connectivity. It is worth noting that DCC has not yet approved the Spectrum Usage Charge recommendations of TRAI. On the issue of VSAT usage for increasing connectivity in far-flung areas, Telecom Secretary Anshu Prakash said that it would reduce Capex requirements, will improve ease of doing business, and will help the telecom operators in providing communication facilities in the remotest parts of the country.
Backhaul Connectivity to Boost Availability of Network in Remote Places
The satellite-based backhaul connectivity is provided in India by companies like Hughes Communications, Nelco, and state-run BSNL. These companies are the VSAT permission holders, which will partner up with companies like Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, and Vodafone Idea to provide increased connectivity.
