Paving the way for Starlink launch, internet will work in India without SIM card: Starlink's path to Indian GMPCS (satellite broadband) license has become easier. Elon Musk's satellite broadband provider company has agreed to meet India's data localization and security standards. Starlink's satellite broadband service license application in the country is now almost certain to proceed. According to these guidelines, satellite operators are required to store data locally and enable potential data access for intelligence agencies. These are the most important conditions for obtaining a license from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
Now ready to take a step forward
According to the report, Starlink has accepted the important conditions of DoT. Due to this, the way to launch satellite broadband connection service in India is now reportedly clear. The report said that Elon Musk's company has agreed to meet the government's data localization and security standards, after which Starlink is now ready to take a step forward for license application in India.
Satellite network started in 100 countries
There are 100 countries in the world where satellite network has been started. The way has not been cleared for this in India because Elon Musk will have to follow many rules. Spectrum is also not available for this in India. This is the reason why the service is not starting here.
There are many challenges for Starlink in India
Apart from this, Starlink has other challenges in India. In many places, every effort is being made to get rid of it. Starlink plans seem a bit expensive in developed countries. At the same time, this is also being seen in rural areas. Due to being expensive, people are not very interested in the plan. In many places, efforts are being made to get rid of it and Elon Musk's company is working fast in this direction.
