SpaceX founder Elon Musk has highlighted Starlink’s potential to improve internet access in India’s underserved and rural regions. In a social media post, Musk said Starlink could particularly benefit communities that remain poorly served by existing connectivity infrastructure. The satellite-based service aims to provide high-speed internet without relying heavily on conventional terrestrial networks, making remote locations easier to connect. The comments come as Starlink continues efforts to expand its presence in India. Reuters reported that Starlink has reapplied for regulatory approval to deploy its satellite network in the country, signalling renewed efforts to enter the Indian market. (PC: PTI)
