They are all set to launch satellite internet services in India. In response to the statement of Reliance Industries, Elon Musk's company Starlink said. The company claims that they have worked with India's regulatory bodies, various industry bodies and telecom operators for the past five years. Necessary infrastructure has also been developed in India. Starlink claims that this work has been done with the approval of the government. According to the company, they are ready to provide high-speed internet services in India.
For the past few days, the controversy over the launch of Starlink internet services in India has been on the rise. Starlink owner Elon Musk alleged that his company is not being given the opportunity to work in India to serve the interests of some powerful people. Musk's allusion to Mukesh Ambani's Reliance was without naming him. The next day, Musk directly mocked Mukesh Ambani as 'Prime Minister of India'. Later, Reliance Industries on Friday said it welcomes competition from all companies, including Starlink, in the satellite communications market. The company's statement, 'Reliance has never been afraid of competition.' According to them, competition is the only way to know which company is providing the best service to the customers. In addition, Reliance said that all organizations must comply with Indian laws and government regulations.
