Will do best to serve people of India: Musk

"Much appreciated! We will do our best to serve the people of India with Starlink," said Musk, in its social media post X. Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia clarified on Tuesday that India would go for administrative allocation, aligning with global practices amid demand from Indian telecom operators, particularly Reliance Jio, to go for the auction route of allocation. Musk and Amazon's Project Kuiper have been advocating administrative allocation of Satcom spectrum.
