Taking a major step towards the futures of the Satellite Bed Internet, Elon Musk’s Starlink has received the SATCOM services license from the Ministry of Telecommunications in India. It is the third company after Eutetersat‑oneweb and Reliance Jio‑ses in India, which has received this approval. This has found Starlink a way to start commercial services, especially in areas where traditional network does not reach. Recently, Starlink emphasized that the spectrum should be allotted administratively, not to sell in the auction and the Government of India also took its favor, on which Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel also expressed objections.

NDTV quoted by PTI Report It is said that Starlink has finally obtained the license of DOT for its services in India. The license was in cold storage for a long time and at one time it seemed that the company of Elon Musk would have to wait longer. Starlink started the agreement for commercial entry in India in 2022, but had to wait a long time due to national security concerns.

Now the Department of Telecom (DOT) has given it Global Mobile Communication by Satellite (GMPCS) license and the process of allotment of trial spectrum will also start in about 15-20 days.

Starlink has now become a third company in India, which has received a SATCOM license from DOT. Earlier Eutetersat-ONEWEB and Jio‑ses were licensed. This decision will bring strong competition and speed in the Indian satellite Internet market.

The recent report reported that Starlink allegedly emphasized that the spectrum should be attended by administratively, not selling in auction. The government also showed inclination in its favor and the debate over the spectrum fee structure between Reliance Jio‑ses vs Airtel‑oneweb intensified. At the same time, Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel described it as ‘uneven fees’ and have registered their objections.

The focus of Starlink is especially on remote and undersved areas, where the traditional network does not reach. Low-Earth Orbit (Leo) satellites will provide faster and lulette internet connectivity, which can improve digital connectivity in rural India.

Starlink: Alan Musk’s company Starlink has received licenses from the Ministry of Telecommunications in India. With this, soon satellite based high speed internet service will be delivered to far-flung areas of the country. Earlier, Bharti Airtel’s OneWab and Reliance Jio have been approved to provide satellite-based services in India. According to the CNBCTV18 report, Starlink has now become the third company in this order.

Trial spectrum will be released to the company

The Starlink has also been given a Global Mobile Personal Communication by Satellite (GMPCS) permit by the Department of Telecommunications (DOT). Now trial spectrum will also be issued to the company in the coming time. After spectrum allotment, the company will have to submit all compliance with the government, including security conditions.

However, before starting satellite telecom services in India, the company will also have to take approval from the Space Regulator Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Center (IN-SPACE). The company has already given all the details for this, but the approval has not been received yet.

Following the recommendations of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, DOT has to finalize the price of spectrum allotment and the rules related to it. TRAI has talked about putting 4 percent AGR on companies like Starlink for satellite communication. Apart from this, TRAI has also recommended to do administratively instead of spectrum allotment auction to get the spectrum quickly to other satellite services providers such as Starlinks and their network can start as soon as possible.

Starlink operation begins in Bangladesh

Recently, Starlink Services started in Bangladesh, for which about 4,200 taka (Rs 2,990) and one -time one time to buy devices will have to be paid for use. Starlink is special because even after answering the mobile network, its services continue.

This is because it does not depend on the mobile towers on the ground for the Internet, but the Stalink provides internet service using its satellite network in the lowest orbit of the Earth. More than 7,000 satellites of Starlink Spacex have been deployed in the Leo, which is present at an altitude of about 550 km from Earth, which plans to increase to 12,000 satellites further.
