India denies bias in satellite internet approvals after Musk jab

Original: starlink

India has rejected suggestions of favouritism in its satellite internet approval process, responding to Elon Musk's claim that the country was favouring billionaires, a reference to rivals including Mukesh Ambani's Jio. Indian officials insist spectrum allocation and licensing follow transparent rules. The dispute comes as SpaceX's Starlink and local operators compete for access to India's vast, largely untapped satellite broadband market.

Why now: Tensions between Musk and Indian business interests over satellite broadband access are in the news as approvals move forward.
