What Is Starlink?
Starlink is a satellite internet service that provides internet through small satellites revolving in the sky. These satellites are in a very Low Earth Orbit (LEO) from the ground, due to which the internet is fast and latency is low. In simple words, Starlink can provide internet even where the mobile network does not reach.
Why Is It Necessary In India?
Even today, crores of people in India do not have good internet. Especially in villages and hilly areas. In such a situation, Starlink can provide internet to those places where broadband or fiber cannot reach. This can make children's education, online treatment and digital work easier.
Competition With Jio And Airtel?
Now the question arises, does Starlink now challenge big networks like Jio and Airtel or work together with them?
In fact, Jio and Airtel are also now preparing to bring services like Starlink in collaboration with SpaceX. That is, there will be no competition, but work together.
How Much Will It Cost?
The Internet is very cheap in India. Therefore, Starlink will also have to keep its price low. Its device and plans have not been revealed yet, but it is expected that it will be within the reach of common people.
When Will It Start?
Starlink has got approval, but it may take some time to start. Some more government clearance and setup is needed. This service may start by the end of 2025.
With the arrival of Starlink, the internet can reach every corner of India, and this will really be a big digital revolution!
