After DoT, Elon Musk-backed Starlink gets another warning letter

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has asked Starlink, the satellite broadband arm of Elon Musk’s SpaceX, not to “solicit any telecom business or collect any related fees” for its upcoming broadband-from-space services in India without the necessary authorisations.
“Starlink Internet Services is required to desist from soliciting telecom business and collecting related fees…etc, without having received necessary authorisations and adhering to relevant statutory provisions,” the telecom regulator said in a directive dated December 7 to the company. ET has seen a copy of the letter.
In its letter, Trai said “soliciting of business for provision of broadband service has to be in accordance with extant statutory provisions related to telecom services”.
