The story so far: On November 26, India’s Department of Telecom (DoT) said Starlink Internet Services is not licensed to offer satellite-based Internet services in the country. The DoT has asked the company to comply with the country’s regulations before offering its satellite-based broadband service. The Musk-owned company has a head start in the LEO-based broadband race with 1,800 LEO satellites already in the orbit. Under it, the license holder can apply for Internet Service Provider (ISP) license for different areas. This means Starlink must get a license under the unified system to provide Internet service in the country.
