Starlink gets green light from India for satellite internet, targeting rural areas.

Elon Musk's Starlink has received a key license from India's Department of Telecommunications, allowing it to launch satellite internet services in the country. Starlink, which operates the world's largest satellite constellation, aims to provide internet access to India's remote and rural areas, where at least 40% of the population lacks connectivity. The company has partnerships with telecom providers Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel. However, Starlink still needs to secure airwaves and meet local security rules before full operations can begin. With mobile data among the cheapest in the world, pricing will be a significant challenge for Starlink.
