Starlink India launch faces setback as Elon Musk's company refuses to give government this data
India TV NewsStarlink, the satellite internet service, is preparing to launch in India. The Indian government is waiting for the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India to finalize the rules for using satellite signals before it gives the green light for companies like Starlink and Amazon's Kuiper to start their services. When the government asked Starlink for information about who originally bought the device, the company refused, saying they had to protect customer privacy. The government has previously shown hesitance in allowing Starlink to operate until it feels satisfied with the company's security measures, including how it will prevent its devices from being misused and ensure proper management of customer data. After photos of Starlink devices appeared online, he took to X to assert that his company's services are not available in India.
