Elon Musk owned Starlink set to launch services in India within two months
New Delhi: Elon Musk's satellite internet service Starlink is preparing to commence operations in India within the next two months after receiving its license last week, sources said. The company has finalised its pricing structure for the Indian market, setting the cost of the required satellite dish device at approximately Rs 33,000. The monthly unlimited data plan is expected to be priced at Rs 3,000. As part of its launch strategy, Starlink plans to offer a complimentary one-month trial period with each device purchase, allowing customers to test the service before committing to regular monthly payments. The satellite internet service is expected to significantly impact connectivity in India's remote and underserved areas, where traditional broadband infrastructure has been challenging to establish. Starlink's low Earth orbit satellite constellation promises to deliver high-speed internet access to locations previously unreachable by conventional terrestrial networks. The pricing structure appears consistent with Starlink's regional strategy, as the device costs align with those in neighbouring countries. In Bangladesh, the Starlink device is priced at Rs 33,000, while Bhutan maintains the same Rs 33,000 price point for the equipment. Industry experts suggest that Starlink's entry into the Indian market could intensify competition in the country's telecommunications sector and provide crucial connectivity solutions for rural areas, educational institutions, and businesses in remote locations.

Piastri stays on top in Spanish GP practice
BARCELONA: Championship leader Oscar Piastri topped the times again ahead of title rival and McLaren team-mate Lando Norris in Saturday's third and final free practice ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix. The 24-year-old Australian clocked a best lap in one minute and 12.387 seconds to outpace Norris, who is three points behind him in the drivers' championship, by 0.526 seconds. Charles Leclerc was third for Ferrari, seven-tenths off the pace, ahead of Mercedes' George Russell, four-time champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull and Racing Bulls' impressive rookie Isack Hadjar. Kimi Antonelli was seventh in the second Mercedes ahead of two-time champion and local hero Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin, seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton in the second Ferrari and Liam Lawson in the second Racing Bull. Piastri will on Sunday seek not only to increase his lead in the title race, but also claim an eighth consecutive podium for McLaren, a feat achieved previously by only two drivers - Hamilton and three-time champion Ayrton Senna. The session began in hot and dry conditions with Alpine new boy Franco Colapinto leading the way soon followed by home favourite Alonso, greeted by a loud cheer from a big Saturday crowd basking in the sunshine. In a slow start, Lance Stroll and Gabriel Bortoleto joined in, but after 12 minutes only Bortoleto and Colapinto had set times. McLaren's Oscar Piastri during practice. — Reuters The true action did not begin until the half-hour mark with Sainz clocking 1:14.124 followed by Leclerc and Hamilton taking over before Norris and Russell trimmed the top spot lap to 1:13.396. Emerging last, Antonelli promptly endorsed the impression that Mercedes, like Ferrari, had found time overnight by going second on his first timed lap. Russell was four-tenths clear. With only 17 minutes remaining, only six cars were on track as teams conserved tyres at a high-degradation circuit. It offered little entertainment for the fans before Verstappen, after set-up changes, went top in 1:13.375. On their second runs, McLaren lifted the bar with Piastri clocking 1:12.387, a second faster than McLaren. Norris went second, 0.526 adrift and Leclerc third. Unexpectedly, the range of times from first to 10th was 1.4 seconds. — AFP

Verstappen wins Emilia Romagna Grand Prix
IMOLA, Italy: Defending four-time champion Max Verstappen delivered a reminder of his unmatched racing prowess on Sunday when he drove his Red Bull to a commanding victory at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. The 27-year-old Dutchman came home 6.1 seconds clear of Lando Norris, who was second, ahead of McLaren team-mate and championship leader Oscar Piastri. Like Verstappen, Ferrari's seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton profited from two safety car interventions to finish fourth, after starting 12th on the grid, ahead of Williams' Alex Albon and Charles Leclerc, in the second Ferrari. George Russell was seventh for Mercedes, ahead of Carlos Sainz in the second Williams, RB rookie Isack Hadjar and Yuki Tsunoda, a notable 10th in the second Red Bull after his high-speed crash in qualifying. It was Verstappen's second win this year and the 65th of his career, delivered in Red Bull's 400th Grand Prix. His success lifted him to 124 points in third place in the drivers' title race behind Piastri on 146 and Norris on 133. "Thank you everyone for a great job today and on Saturday," said Verstappen, whose performance made clear he and Red Bull will not relinquish the title easily. "It was a great weekend." Piastri said he had lost the race at the opening corner. "But it was a great move by Max and then we had a few wrong calls so it was not one of our best Sundays." Norris conceded that Verstappen and Red Bull had been stronger and faster than his team. "Congratulations to Max," he said. - RAMOANT VERSTAPPEN - The race, marking the 75th anniversary of the world championship's maiden race at Silverstone on May 13, 1950, started in glorious warm sunshine with everyone on medium tyres, except Hamilton, Kimi Antonelli and three others, including Tsunoda, who chose hards for strategic reasons. Piastri won the initial start, but left enough room for a rampant Verstappen to lunge past him at Tamburello and take the lead in a thrilling thrusting move that stirred a roar from the big sun-kissed crowd, part of an Imola record weekend attendance of 240,000. Tsunoda, recovered from his huge crash on Saturday, started from the pitlane in his rebuilt Red Bull, clearly eyeing a one-stop strategy at a circuit with one of the longest pitlanes, 10 seconds slower than Miami. Home favourite Antonelli had passed his Mercedes predecessor Hamilton on lap one pushing the Ferrari down to 12th while Norris sliced past Russell for third on lap 11 to begin his pursuit of the leaders. Russell pitted for hards one lap later together with Leclerc, doing the same at Ferrari, emerging in 13th, before Piastri came in on lap 13 and rejoined in front of the Monegasque, but facing a solid jam of cars ahead of him. In the lead, Verstappen enjoyed cruising at pace ahead of Norris, with a 10-second advantage by lap 20. By lap 25, Piastri was past Hamilton and into the top six after a frustrating period held up by Tsunoda, on team orders. Two laps later, he passed Antonelli, 'the boy from Bologna', for fifth and then Hadjar for fourth before a brief virtual safety car was signalled when Esteban Ocon parked his Haas on the inside of Tosa. The pause gifted Verstappen a cheap pit-stop. It was perfect for the leader, but left Leclerc fuming, swearing on the team radio. This left Verstappen leading Norris with Albon third ahead of Piastri. Fired up, Hamilton dispatched both Antonelli and then Hadjar with sweeping moves at Tamburello to take fifth but Verstappen remained in cool control, 18 seconds clear of Norris and Piastri. On lap 46, Antonelli prompted a full safety car intervention when he pulled up at Tosa. "I've got an issue," he reported, as lucky Max cashed in again, the champion taking his second 'cheap' stop followed by Norris. Ferrari told Leclerc to stay out. — AFP
