Traffic from Elon Musk's Starlink satellite network has nearly tripled this year, according to data from IT security firm Cloudflare.

India has proposed a licensing approach for satellite internet services, exempting companies like Elon Musk's Starlink from having to bid for spectrum. This move is seen as a win for Starlink and other global firms like Amazon's Project Kuiper. However, it is a setback for Reliance Jio, as foreign firms had demanded an auction for a level playing field.
