End of mobile tower! Smartphone to now directly connect with satellite, big challenge for Mukesh Ambani, Sunil Mittal from......

Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel use towers.

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 tower could reach 5000 people while the same in America would hardly reach 1000.

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

India's own JSTOR - what is the One Nation, One Subscription scheme for Indian academics​

Cabinet approves One Nation One Subscription (ONOS)​

Cabinet approves One Nation One Subscription (ONOS)

The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has approved One Nation One Subscri

pib.gov.in

The funding for academic research should significantly increase. The thousands of crores spent on subscriptions could have been directed to fund research.
Almost every research scholar uses scihub for accessing journals. The impact of ONOS may not be significant.

Currently, its almost impossible to get funding without contacts in the funding agencies. This nexus should be broken. Some profs in IITs and other big institutes have been getting funding from 15-20 years. Check their output. What did they deliver? If not significant, why to continue funding them?
Further, the corruption in govt. funded academic institutes should be checked. That wastes hundreds of crores.
Several structural reforms are required. ONOS is nowhere a top priority.

Further, the world is moving towards open access archives. Several scientists across the world are criticizing that high article processing charges of publishing houses, particularly Nature. Last year, the entire editorial board of a Nature journal resigned condemning the high APC of that journal.
In such a time, ONOS makes no sense.

gormint research funding is not an entitlement. it is a limited resource, so choices will be made by the bureaucracy. and many people who think they deserve it, will not get it.

is there a specific pattern, as to which type of concepts/projects are not getting funding sanction?

give us a few examples.
