Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite-based internet service provider, is prepping for an official debut in the Indian market after getting approval from the government. Though, the connections across the country by Starlink are capped at a maximum of 2 million, so that it does not hamper the current ecosystem of telecom service provides. Moving ahead, let's have a look at the details of Starlink satellite internet, including release date, pricing, internet speed, and more.
Starlink Release Date And Price In India
After a lot of hiccups, Starlink finally got approval to run its operations in the Indian market. Still, a few steps like setting up points of presence, approvals of SATCOM gateways, securing licenses for network equipment, and acquiring the required spectrum are still to be done on Starlink's part. Considering all this, we can say that the launch could take place by the next quarter, most probably.
Coming to the pricing, the Starlink one-time setup cost could be somewhere around Rs 30,000 or more than that. On the other hand, the monthly plans could debut at a price of Rs 3,300. It is also being said that the prices will vary based on the location.
Starlink Internet Speeds And More
Starlink satellite internet is said to offer a speed between 25Mbps and 220Mbps, according to the reports. While the speeds may not be that impressive for the people living in urban cities, but they can be considered a boon for rural areas. Additionally, the constant access to the internet along with decent speeds will aid in he development of rural areas. One thing which we can say at this point in time is that Starlink will most probably outclass its local competitors in the rural market, but could expect a cold response from the urban market.
