Starlink row: Govt rubbishes Elon Musk's remarks on ‘oligarchs’ as ‘baseless’, hails India's ‘fair’ framework
'Baseless and misconceived': Govt responds to Elon Musk's remarks on Indian ‘Oligarchs’ blocking Starlink
In response to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's recent remarks regarding Indian "oligarchs" blocking Starlink communication services, the Ministry of Communications has dismissed the claims as "baseless" and "misconceived". The government asserts that it has established a "fair and non-discriminatory authorisation framework" for all telecommunication services, including satellite communication services.
Musk had shared a post by social media user "DogeDesigner" suggesting the need for Starlink in India, stating that "certain oligarchs" were blocking the service to maintain a monopolistic grip on Indian citizens. The ministry clarified that Musk's allegations are unfounded and do not reflect the reality of India's telecommunications landscape.
