Starlink, the satellite internet initiative by SpaceX, is set to revolutionize internet connectivity globally. With a vast network of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, Starlink aims to provide high-speed, low-latency broadband access worldwide, significantly benefiting remote and underserved areas.

India's Department of Telecom has issued a Letter of Intent to Starlink, bringing the service a step closer to Indian consumers. This move marks a significant milestone in India's growing space economy, as local telecom operators like Airtel and Jio partner with Starlink to extend internet services across the country.

Starlink has proved invaluable during natural disasters and conflicts, notably in Ukraine, where it provided essential internet access amid the 2022 conflict. As global telecom leaders rally around satellite internet, Starlink's innovative approach continues to advance connectivity solutions worldwide.
