Department of Telecommunications, Government of India has advised the public not to subscribe Starlink Internet Services being advertised, as the Starlink is not a licensee under Government of India.

 

The company has started pre-selling/booking the satellite based internet services  through their website (www.starlink.com). For rendering satellite based services in India, requisite license(s) from Department of Telecommunications, Government of India are required. But Starlink has not obtained any license/authorization for rendering satellite based internet services that are being booked on their website.

 

Accordingly, the Government has asked the company to comply with the Indian regulatory framework for rendering the satellite based communication services and refrain from booking/rendering the satellite internet services in India with immediate effect.
