India’s government has strongly rejected Elon Musk’s allegation that powerful business interests are blocking Starlink’s launch to protect a monopoly in the country’s satellite internet market. The Ministry of Communications called the claims “baseless and misconceived,” insisting India’s satellite communication rules are fair and non-discriminatory. Security assessments for three licensed satellite communication operators are currently underway, with clearances still pending. #elonmusk #starlink #india #indiagovernment #spacex #satelliteinternet #telecom #mirrornow
