It has come to the notice of the Telecommunications Department that M/s Starlink has started pre-selling/booking of its satellite based Internet Services in India. The same is also evident from the website of Starlink (www.starlink.com) wherein such services can be booked by users in Indian territory.

For rendering satellite based services in India, requisite license (s) from the Department of Telecommunications, Government of India is/are required. It is hereby informed to the public at large that the said company has not obtained any license/authorization for rendering satellite based internet services that are being booked on its website. Accordingly, the Government has asked the company to comply with the Indian regulatory framework and refrain from booking/rendering such services in India with immediate effect.

Given the fact that Starlink is not a licensee, the public is advised not to subscribe to Starlink services being advertised.
