ELON MUSK COULD SOON LAUNCH ITS STARLINK SERVICES IN INDIA
👉 Elon Musk's satellite internet venture, Starlink, is on the verge of securing approval from the Indian government, with sources of Money Control indicating that the green light could come as early as next week. Starlink is poised to become the third company, following Jio Satellite Communications and OneWeb, to obtain the necessary licenses for offering satellite communication services in India.
- Starlink, a satellite internet venture by Elon Musk, is likely to get approval from the Indian government soon.
- Starlink will join Jio Satellite Communications and OneWeb as the third company to offer satellite communication services in India.
- Starlink aims to provide high-speed, low-latency internet access to remote areas using a constellation of thousands of satellites.
Starlink is not yet available in India, but it is expected to get approval from the Indian government soon. Starlink has applied for a global mobile personal communication by satellite services (GMPCS) license in India, and it is likely to receive a letter of intent from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) after clarifying its shareholding structure to the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade. However, Starlink will also need approval from the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre to set up earth stations and use spectrum in India. Starlink will join Jio Satellite Communications and OneWeb as the third company to offer satellite communication services in India.
The cost of Starlink’s service in India is not known yet, but it may be around Rs 1,58,000 for the first year and Rs 1,15,000 from the second year, including a 30 per cent tax, according to some estimates. This includes the one-time purchase of Starlink’s equipment and a monthly service fee. Starlink claims to offer download speeds ranging from 25 to 220 Mbps, which may vary depending on the location and weather conditions. Starlink also promises to simplify the installation process and provide benefits for users in remote areas lacking traditional internet infrastructure.
To sign up for Starlink in India, you can follow these steps:
- Go to Starlink’s website and enter your email and address to find your service area.
- See when Starlink estimates it will provide service to your location. According to the website, Starlink is targeting coverage in your area in 2024. Availability is limited. Orders will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Pay a $99 deposit upfront that will be deducted from the monthly fee of $99, the $499 hardware cost, and shipping. The deposit is refundable if you change your mind or cancel your order.
- Wait for Starlink to get the necessary approvals from the Indian government and the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre to operate in India. Starlink is expected to receive a letter of intent from the Department of Telecommunications soon.
- Once Starlink is ready to launch its service in India, you will receive an email with further instructions on how to set up your equipment and activate your account.
