Elon Musk (Social media)
National News: The picture of digital connectivity in India is now going to change. Starlink, a company of Elon Musk, one of the world's richest entrepreneurs, has received government approval to start satellite internet service in India. For a long time, the promise to deliver fast internet to the rural and remote areas of the country, which many companies have left incomplete, is now ready to turn it into reality. With this historical approval from the Ministry of Telecommunications, India has moved towards becoming an important center of the Global Sutcom network.
Starlink has now become the third company in India to get a Satcom license. Earlier, this license has been issued to Reliance Jio and YouTelsat's OneWab. These three companies have been allowed to provide internet services through satellite in India.
A few days ago, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia had indicated that the process of license to Starlink is in the final stages. Now it is stamped. However, no official comment has been made by the company nor by the government at present.
Starlink had intention to start services in India in 2022 and also applied for a license in the same year. Now the company has been approved by going, so that it will be able to carry forward its plan to deliver fast internet to rural areas of India.
Significantly, the satellite internet market in India is taking shape rapidly. After the approval of Allen Musk's company, everyone's eyes are now on Amazon's 'Kuper' project, which is waiting to get a similar license.
Internet connectivity will be strengthened in areas of India from the beginning of Starlink's services, where the reach of the network has been very limited so far. This step can give new pace to campaigns like Digital India and Internet for all.
