Starlink gets licence to start India services
Starlink is the third company after Eutelsat OneWeb and Jio Satellite Communications to get a licence from the Department of Telecommunications to provide satellite internet services in the country. New Delhi, Jun 6 (PTI) Elon Musk's Starlink has received a licence from the telecom department for providing satellite internet services in India, a key milestone that will take it closer towards launching commercial operations in the country. DoT sources confirmed on Friday that Starlink has indeed received the licence, and said the company will be granted trial spectrum in 15-20 days of applying for it. Starlink will now have to comply with the security norms such as providing access for lawful interception, before starting services. The licence came hours after a huge public spat between Musk and US President Donald Trump. The falling-out between the world's richest man and the world's most powerful person began when Musk, who left his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency a week ago, denounced Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill. On Thursday, it erupted in the verbal duel after Trump criticised Musk in the Oval Office. Musk responded saying 'Trump would have lost' without his help, prompting the US President to end US contracts. The licence from DoT came nearly a month after the Starlink was issued a letter of intent (LoI) by the telecom department. The companies that have received the licence would, however, have to a wait a tad longer for commercial satcom spectrum as the Trai just recently sent its recommendations on pricing, and terms and conditions, to the government for its consideration. The players will be able to start their services after the allocation of radio wave frequencies. Typically, even before the commercial spectrum, the trial spectrum is required to test, and verify the systems and processes on security parameters to demonstrate that all norms and requirements, are being complied with. The status of the Starlink's final nod from the Indian space regulator, In-SPACe could not be immediately ascertained. Starlink is a satellite internet service developed by SpaceX — the American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company founded in 2002 by the world's richest man Musk. It provides high-speed, low-latency broadband internet worldwide using satellite technology and is aptly described by some as broadband beamed from the skies. Unlike conventional satellite services that rely on distant geostationary satellites, Starlink utilises the world's largest low Earth orbit or LEO constellation (550 km above Earth). This constellation of LEO satellites (7,000 now but eventually set to grow to over 40,000) and its mesh delivers broadband internet capable of supporting streaming, online gaming, and video calls. Starlink, which had been vying for an India licence for some time now, recently signed pacts with Ambani's Reliance Jio and Mittal's Bharti Airtel, which together control more than 70 per cent of the country's telecom market, to bring the US satellite internet giant's services to India. The nod for the satcom offering — known for its resilience in harsh conditions and conflict zones — coincides with escalation of Donald Trump-Elon Musk feud in the US. Early last month, the government had issued stringent security norms mandating legal interception of satellite communication services and barred companies from linking connection of users in any form with any terminal or facility located outside the country's border as well as processing of their data overseas. The tighter security rules also mandate service providers to indigenise at least 20 per cent of their ground segment of the satellite network within years of their establishment in the country. The satcom service licence holders will require security clearances for specific gateway and hub locations in India and compliance to monitoring, interception facilities and equipment requirements. India's rules mandate satcom firms to demonstrate system capabilities with respect to security aspects, including monitoring, to the Department of Telecom (DoT) or its authorised representatives before starting operations in India. It is pertinent to mention that Telecom regulator TRAI last month recommended that satellite communication companies like Starlink pay 4 per cent of their adjusted gross revenue (AGR) as spectrum charges to the government — a rate steeper than what these firms had been lobbying for. Operators offering satellite-based broadband internet services in urban areas would have to shell out an additional Rs 500 per subscribers annually, TRAI recommended. No additional levy would be applicable for services in rural areas. COAI, whose members include Reliance Jio and Airtel, recently approached the telecom department to raise concerns over TRAI recommendations on the satcom spectrum. The industry body argued that 'incorrect assumptions' have led to unjustifiably low spectrum charges for satellite services relative to terrestrial networks — a claim strongly rejected by Trai, which has ruled out any review of recommendations at this stage, based on industry body COAI's charges.

Inside the Musk-Trump feud: This adviser is said to have triggered the most talked-about split in politics
President Donald Trump's recent surprise decision to withdraw Elon Musk's favored candidate for NASA chief has pushed the billionaire entrepreneur and the White House into a rare and public feud. The president canceled Jared Isaacman's nomination as NASA administrator just days after Musk left the White House, fueling tensions between two of the most powerful figures in the country. Why did Trump pull Jared Isaacman's NASA nomination despite Senate support? Jared Isaacman, a billionaire pilot and astronaut, was widely expected to be confirmed as NASA administrator this week after winning Senate committee approval in April. Isaacman is well-known for his role in Musk's Dragon program and for flying to space during Operation Polaris Dawn in 2024. But the nomination hit a snag because Isaacman had donated to several Democratic candidates, including those who challenged GOP senators Tim Sheehy of Montana and Bernie Moreno of Ohio in the 2024 elections. Reports from Axios reveal that Trump's top White House personnel official, Sergio Gor, played a key role in derailing the nomination. Gor, who manages White House staffing decisions, flagged Isaacman's Democratic donations to Trump, pushing the president to reconsider. Despite Musk's support and their private discussions about Isaacman, Trump decided the candidate's political ties were not suitable for the position, stating on Truth Social, 'I am hereby withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacman to head NASA.' Musk expressed disappointment, calling Isaacman 'competent and good-hearted' on X. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No Gym. No Gimmicks. Just Walk: The Shoe That's Remaking the £4B Wellness Market showbizinsider Undo Who is Sergio Gor, and why did he oppose Elon Musk's pick? Sergio Gor is a powerful and influential White House aide responsible for overseeing personnel choices in the Trump administration. A longtime ally of Senator Rand Paul, Gor moved to Trump's team in 2019 and has close ties to Donald Trump Jr., even officiating Rep. Matt Gaetz's wedding in 2021. Gor also co-founded Trump Jr.'s publishing company and manages a pro-Trump super PAC that spent nearly $72 million in the 2024 election cycle. Sources suggest Gor and Musk have had a tense relationship, and Gor's decision to expose Isaacman's political donations was seen by insiders as a parting 'f**k you' to Musk. The Axios report highlights that Gor didn't appreciate Musk's involvement in personnel matters, adding friction between the two. Live Events How did the Trump-Musk fallout unfold publicly? The conflict between Trump and Musk exploded last week. After Musk publicly criticized Trump's 'big, beautiful bill,' Trump retaliated by urging the deportation of the SpaceX founder and threatened to revoke Musk's multibillion-dollar government contracts. Musk responded sharply, calling for Trump's impeachment and linking him to Jeffrey Epstein, intensifying their bitter exchange. The feud hit Wall Street hard as Tesla's stock plummeted, wiping around $27 billion off Musk's net worth in one of his worst days financially. White House aides tried to mediate, even attempting to arrange a crisis call to patch things up, but talks fell apart by Friday morning. Can Trump and Musk reconcile despite their public spat? Bill Ackman, billionaire hedge fund manager, stepped in with a public appeal on X urging the two men to bury the hatchet 'for the benefit of our great country,' reminding them, 'we are much stronger together than apart.' Musk's brief reply, 'You're not wrong,' hinted at some willingness to find common ground. Still, with Gor's influence in the White House and the public nature of the feud, a quick fix seems unlikely. Trump emphasized the importance of loyalty to the Republican Party for government nominations and appeared firm on his decision regarding Isaacman. What does this conflict mean for NASA and U.S. space policy? With Isaacman's nomination withdrawn, NASA faces uncertainty about its next leader. The rift underscores how political loyalty now plays a big role in key appointments, even in scientific agencies like NASA. Elon Musk, once a close ally of Trump's campaign and administration, is now openly at odds with the president, complicating collaboration between the government and private space ventures. The dispute also raises questions about how much influence billionaires like Musk will have in shaping U.S. space policy amid growing partisan divides. For now, the clash remains a high-profile example of how politics can overshadow expertise and shared goals in America's space ambitions. FAQs: Why did Trump withdraw Jared Isaacman's NASA nomination despite Senate approval? Trump's advisor Sergio Gor highlighted Isaacman's donations to Democrats, leading Trump to pull the nomination over political loyalty concerns. How has the Trump-Musk feud affected NASA and space policy? The public clash disrupted NASA's leadership plans and raised questions about political influence on U.S. space initiatives.
