Amazon and SpaceX Want In on India’s Satellite Internet Market

Bloomberg  

For years, a stash of computers has been gathering dust at a local school in Daringbadi, a village nestled into the lush hillside of India’s eastern state of Odisha that’s reachable only by twisting mountain roads.

Across India, the world’s most populous country, about one-quarter of the nation’s landmass remains unconnected to the internet, says mobile operator Bharti Airtel Ltd. But as low-earth orbit satellite networks proliferate, there’s a new chance for the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to solve that digital divide.
