Elon Musk questions Indian telecom monopoly in Starlink controversy

Musk earlier raised concerns about why Starlink has yet to receive final commercial clearance in India, claiming the satellite operator has spent five years aligning with Indian regulations. He hinted that powerful business interests, without naming them, are impeding the service to safeguard their foothold in the telecom sector. The Indian government responded by emphasizing that compliance with security standards is mandatory for every satellite‑communication license holder.
