Delays in India's Satellite Broadband Launch Raise Corporate and Regulatory Concerns
Elon Musk criticized the Indian government and Mukesh Ambani over delays in Starlink's satellite internet launch, alleging corporate favoritism and regulatory hurdles. The government and Reliance Industries denied these claims, emphasizing security clearances as the main cause. Other satellite broadband providers, including Jio and Eutelsat OneWeb, also await approvals. Experts highlight the need for clearer procedures and better coordination to advance India's satellite broadband rollout, while the space sector shifts toward private infrastructure development beyond government-led missions.
