Elon Musk's Starlink Satellite Internet Service is entering India..
In the past couple of days, very big announcements have been made in the Indian telecom sector. India’s two big corporate telecom service providers, Jio and Airtel have announced that, they had signed agreements with Elon Musk’s SpaceX. These agreements are to bring Elon Musk’s Starlink Satellite Internet Service to India. What is Satellite Internet Service? It is internet service provided not through normal mobile towers, but through satellites orbiting the earth at low height - “Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites". These satellites are being operated by Elon Musk’s SpaceX. It is being propagated that, Starlink’s high speed Satellite Internet Service will be provided even in remote and hilly areas, where installing mobile towers, etc., is difficult. It must be understood that big corporates like Ambani of Reliance Jio and Sunil Mittal Bharti of Airtel are here, not to serve the people of this country. Rather, they are here to mint money and to multiply their profits. Elon Musk is the richest man in the world. Undoubtedly, both Ambani and Sunil Mittal Bharti are joining hands with Elon Musk to make big money. Government is levying 30% taxation on foreign digital services in India. Hence, Starlink’s Satellite Internet Service is likely to cost more. One report says that, it willl cost a customer between Rs.3,500/- to Rs.4,500/- per month. Under these circumstances, there is urgent need for BSNL to provide good quality voice call and data services to the public. All the unions and associations in BSNL should immediately focus on this issue. Pressure should be exerted on BSNL Management and the government, for taking immediate steps to improve the quality of BSNL's services on a war footing.
