Guidelines issued this week for satellite internet services companies address crucial cross-border security issues, including from Pakistan, minister of state for communications, Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani, said on Tuesday.
NEW DELHI:
"We are taking extra caution as this satellite constellation goes around the world... So, cross-border network issues will be there," Pemmasani said at a media briefing, adding that Pakistan was attempting to hack cyber networks in India.
The department of telecommunications on Monday issued guidelines to tighten security as global satellite communication companies such as Starlink, Amazon's Kuiper, and Globalstar look to enter India.
Pemmasani, however, downplayed any entry barriers for these firms under the new rules.
