India has reportedly paused final approvals for Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service due to security concerns. Officials are worried about the use of Starlink terminals during the recent Iran conflict and the challenges of regulating a US-based operator during geopolitical tensions. According to reports, security clearance for Starlink remains pending despite the company obtaining a satellite communication licence in India last year. Authorities are seeking assurances that the service can comply with India's security requirements. The delay has also affected plans related to satellite spectrum allocation. Starlink says it continues to work with Indian authorities and has established infrastructure in the country. (PC: Bloomberg)
