Starlink's Satellite Technology Faces Indian Government Restrictions The Indian government is likely to restrict the use of interlinked satellite technology for internet services due to national security concerns. This decision primarily affects Elon Musk's Starlink, which relies on this technology to provide global internet coverage. The concerns stem from the potential for data to bypass national borders, raising issues about data sovereignty and security. The Indian intelligence community has expressed increasing wariness of foreign satellite networks, including Starlink, due to fears of espionage and data leaks. As a result, the operational capabilities of Starlink in India may be significantly hindered, impacting its service rollout and user access. The situation remains fluid as discussions continue between the government and stakeholders. 2 sources 55
