Starlink’s India trajectory: Here's everything you need to know as parent SpaceX partners with Jio Platforms and Bharti Airtel

Economic Times · 21d

Jio Platforms and Bharti Airtel have partnered with SpaceX to offer Starlink satellite internet services in India, contingent upon government approvals. Starlink, using a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites, targets remote areas where connectivity is lacking. These satellite services can provide speeds up to 250 Mbps. Challenges include regulatory approvals and high costs compared to India's average broadband expenses, which may require SpaceX to consider localized pricing or partnerships with government programs for wider adoption.
