Alan Musk’s Starlink is going to be launched in India soon. Then new turns are also being seen in this matter. Several strict rules have to be followed before starting operating the Starlink. The government has ordered Starlink to set up a control center in India. This step has been taken because communication services can be stopped in sensitive areas to maintain law and order.
First Grasshopper for Starlink
The government has also stated the need for security. It should also include the ability to intercept calls for law enforcement agencies in emergency. This instruction has come to light after Starlink’s satellite communication license application reached the final stage. The company is working on agreements with Reliance Jio and Airtel for marketing, deployment and network expansion. Control centers in India are considered important for maintaining law and order status. In such a situation satellite services can be stopped immediately. The government has said that in such a difficult situation, we will not take permission from Starlink and take decisions in our own way. Meanwhile, Allen Musk’s sparklink company has said that they are reviewing the case.
What do telecom laws say?
India’s telecom law, public emergency, disaster management or public safety concerns allow the Central or State Government to take temporary control of any telecom service or network. These laws also include a provision to close the Internet if required.
This company can also get a chance.
Amazon will be the second largest contender Amazon Kuper after the Starlink is approved. For which the path of India will also be cleared. Amazon’s satellite internet service is also going to start in India. If the Starlink gets government approval, it will also be easy to obtain a license for the cuper. With this, fast internet service will also be available in remote areas of India.
When will Starlinks be approved?
Starlink applied for a license in India a long time ago. After consultation with the government, the company has also accepted the condition of setting up local control centers in India. It is believed that Starlink will agree on this, so that the government can start service soon.

Starlink is already serving in more than 100 countries including the US, Australia and Bhutan. India is a huge digital market and has immense possibilities of satellite internet. Especially in rural and hilly areas where there is a lack of internet connectivity.
