National Telecom (NT) is unlikely to set high-capacity specifications for its first satellite as it is intended to mainly serve state agency demand, which is estimated to increase by only 7% per year, according to a senior NT executive.
The government, through the Office of National Digital Economy and Society Commission (ONDE), plans to implement the first national master plan for the space economy by the end of this year.
The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) plans to hold talks with the Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry to allocate some satellite orbital slots for use specifically for the country's security.
National Telecom (NT) says it will definitely participate in the satellite orbital slot auction slated for Jan 8, 2023, though it has yet to divulge its planned slot bids.
