Who Holds the Off Switch? Starlink and India's Satcom Policy
Original: Who Holds the Off Switch? Starlink, Dependence, and India’s Satcom Policy
A new analysis examines India's satellite communications policy through the lens of dependence on Starlink, asking who controls the ability to switch off or restrict satellite internet services.

Why now: Starlink's global expansion is prompting governments, including India's, to reassess the strategic risks of dependence on foreign satellite internet providers.
