Starlink may get satellite broadband services licence

NEW DELHI: This Centre is set to grant a licence to Elon Musk-led Starlink for starting satellite broadband services in India in the next few days.

The company had applied for the global mobile personal communication by satellite services (GMPCS) licence, which offers satellite communication services in licensed service areas, in October 2022.

According to the sources in the DoT (Department of Telecommunication), Starlinks’ licence application was pending due to a security issue; now everything is ironed out and the application is at the final stage for approval.
