My understanding, as a lay person, is that this satellite broadband will be delivered to remote areas, where optic fibre or normal wireless broadband do not reach. Not a lucrative market in the conventional sense. Our broadband prices, also reflected in the Average Revenue per User, are amongst the lowest in the world. 2.

The telecom 2G spectrum scam raised by CAG of that time was the major cause why the UPA-II government was ousted. But note that auction was diligently followed then.

Now that GOI decided to give it Star Link, spineless media has nothing to do except seeing a big news in India’s top two telecom companies playing slaves to Star Link. The PM has made everything about as his personal ego. So for his “dear friend Trump” Modi is hell bent to be on his good side. So Modi finds no issue in selling India’s communications to Star Link without thinking about National Security. Ukraine is completely dependent on Star Link and when Trump got angry with Zelensky, Musk stopped Star Link services which disabled Ukrainian military to a large extent. God help India.
