Elon Musk's satellite internet service Starlink has formally accepted the security and data storage standards set by the government to provide service in India. According to a report, Starlink plans to launch its services in India, where satellite spectrum is likely to be allocated administratively. In this field, Starlink will compete with companies like Reliance JioSpaceFiber, Airtel, and Amazon Kuiper, who are preparing to launch their satellite internet services in India.
According to a report by Financial Express, Starlink has accepted the requirements such as local data storage and government data interception set by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). All these conditions are mandatory for any satellite internet service provider to be fulfilled before getting a license in India.
The report also said that Starlink had sought a temporary relaxation in some conditions, but the government refused to give any special concessions to foreign companies. At present, the Department of Telecommunications has not allowed any foreign satellite service provider to operate in India.
