Musk’s company did not officially provide this information.
Starlink has got a green flag to launch broadband and satellite internet services in India. This approval can help deliver high-speed internet in rural and remote areas of India. Now it is only waiting for the approval of the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Center ie in -pace. Reuters quoted the sources and gave this information. There has been a long debate about satellite service in India. Now it seems that the satellite internet service in India is going to start soon. According to information from sources, Alon Musk’s starlink has been licensed by the Government of India. After getting a license to Starlink, it can now be said that the satellite internet is now in its last phase. Musk’s company received a letter of intent last month. Now, one step further, he has also received a GMPCS license from the government.
Starlink became the third company to get approval
According to sources, the Department of Telecommunications of the Government of India on Friday issued Starlink a license to start service in the country. Getting a license from the Government of India is a major achievement for the company. Let us tell you that Starlink is the third company to get satellite internet service from the Government of India. The government has also licensed Jio and Airtel before. Before obtaining a license from the government, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said that the Starlink Setcom could be licensed soon.
Starlink now has only one challenge after receiving a GMPCS license. The company will have to get final approval from In-Space to launch a satellite internet service in India. Users will be able to use a satellite -based internet service after this approval. However, no information has been given on how long it will take to complete this final approval.
Let me tell you that Alon Musk has been constantly trying since 2022 to enter Starlink in India. After all, the company’s wait is now over. Amazon’s Cupper Company is also trying for satellite internet in India. The company has also applied to the Government of India for this.
