Musk's firm gets nod for Sat Net; joins Jio, Bharti
Hindustan Times
|January 22, 2024
Starlink, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, has been allowed to offer satellite broadband services in India, two officials aware of the development said.
The department of telecommunications (DOT) has approved granting a global mobile personal communication by satellite, or GMPCS licence, to the American satellite internet company.
"The licence has been approved. We got the go-ahead from the commerce ministry on details they had asked for and they (Starlink) have provided," one of the officials cited above said, asking not to be named.
Once it gets past a couple more hurdles, Starlink will become the third satellite broadband service provider in the country, after Bharti groupbacked OneWeb India, and Reliance-backed Jio Satellite Communications. The services will go live after a few more months, after the government makes changes to the Telecommuncations Act 2023.
