India companies never invest on RnD, so they will face always

You should never trust news written by Indian news publication about Science and Technology. These bastards are after clicks not news. There is no satellite which can handle millions of users. If satellites can deliver internet then why do we have expensive Internet sea cables crisscrossing all across the globe?

Satellites cannot handle that much of throughput. And most importantly since satellites are high above our atmosphere they produce a small latency making it difficult to deliver data speeds to vast number of people. SpaceX starlink was meant to provide internet to rural parts of US. US is very big country with most regions almost empty or with little less people. ISP's don't have a problem providing internet to dense urban regions, however laying infrastructure to rural parts to deliver internet is not financially feasible. That is where Starlink comes in.

What Starlink is doing is nothing new. There were companies which were already doing this except they were doing it at a small scale meaning they didn't have many satellites to deliver services to lot of people. With Starlink they have nearly 40,000 satellites which is huge. It kind of helps when your own rocket company is launching the service. The only customers to Starlink I see in India are the airline industry. There are already many airlines who are availing Starlink services in US. For ordinary users given our deep mobile internet penetration along with broadband which have improved over years, I see this service is useless for them. Having said that Airtel is not sleeping, they have a company called Oneweb which does exactly that and Jio isn't far either.

Your are right. I am trying to say Indian companies always prefer to give services , but not on RnD. They dont have eager ness to develop new product.

For a place like Murica and other such sparsely populated country starlink makes sense.

The number of customers covered per tower must be pretty low considering the country is mostly suburbs which spans a wide area.


In India a satellite could reach 5000 people while the same in America would hardly reach 1000.

Satellite internet isn't taking over our market but thus technology will be used by our adversaries to its full extent.
