India examining the legality of Elon Musk’s Starlink internet service
- Wednesday | 14th April, 2021
Elon Musk’s Starlink has come onto the radar of Indian authorities for offering a beta version of its Starlink satellite internet service on pre-orders in the country for a fully refundable deposit of $99. The country’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is now examining if SpaceX’s Starlink service has flouted the existing laws by offering beta service in the country. SpaceX recently began offering satellite-based internet service under beta phase on pre-orders in India for a fully refundable deposit of $99. The company’s beta service is already available in urban areas, such as the Delhi-Noida Direct Flyway or Delhi-Jaipur Expressway, as per its website. Notably, the department has already made similar changes to licensing conditions for telecom operators and internet service providers.
