Starlink pricing must be affordable in India, says Musk amid Jio row

Tech trillionaire Elon Musk has said Starlink's pricing in India would have to be made affordable, since no one would buy it if it were too expensive, and argued that competition would give consumers more choice. Musk's comments on X, part of a larger post, come as Jio Platforms, the digital arm of Reliance Industries, counts down to what is expected to be India's biggest public offering. "The reality is that competition would greatly benefit the average citizen in India by giving them more choices, as it always does. Ambani's profits will be lower, but he is not going out of business," Musk said. Musk added: "And, obviously, if Starlink is too expensive in India, no one will buy it, so SpaceX will need to make pricing affordable." In the same post, Musk renewed his attack on Mukesh Ambani over Starlink's entry into India, accusing the billionaire's supporters of indulging in "absurd hypocrisy and hyperbole" in arguing simultaneously that his satellite internet service cannot compe

Musk slams Ambani supporters for 'hypocrisy' over Starlink's entry in India

Elon Musk on Sunday renewed his attack on Mukesh Ambani over Starlink's entry into India, accusing the billionaire's supporters of indulging in "absurd hypocrisy and hyperbole" in arguing simultaneously that his satellite internet service cannot compete with "amazing low prices offered by Ambani's de facto monopoly in India", even as they claimed - in the same breath - that it poses a strong competitive threat. In a post on X, Musk said competition from Starlink would benefit ordinary Indians by expanding consumer choice, and that while it could lower Ambani's profits "he is not going out of business". Musk also said that if, indeed, Starlink's services were too expensive in India, consumers would not buy them, forcing the company to make its pricing affordable. The "ridiculous arguments" by Ambani's internet supporters "make no sense", he said. "On the one hand, they say Starlink couldn't possibly compete with the amazing low prices offered by Ambani's de facto monopoly in India an

India allows no monopoly, satcom firms must meet security norms: Scindia

Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Friday asserted that India does not allow monopoly in any sector, and said despite the buzz around one "particular" company, the fact is three players have received satcom licences and can start operations after individually meeting security requirements and milestones. The comments assume significance amid raging controversy over satellite communications and allegations by trillionnaire Elon Musk that his Starlink's satcom services are being blocked by certain oligarchs who want to "maintain their monopolistic chokehold on the Indian people". Scindia on Friday said India doesn't allow monopoly in any sector. "Let me set the record straight. For us, the Department of Telecommunications, we are technology agnostic... Our job is to be able to provide the bouquet of services to every single customer. It is for the customer to choose in a free market which service he or she prefers, and within that service bouquet, which company's service

Starlink India ops built to meet country's regulatory needs: Official

Elon Musk-led satellite communication firm Starlink has designed its operations to comply with India's security and other regulatory needs, a senior official of the company said on Wednesday. Speaking at India Mobile Congress 2026, SpaceX's Starlink Business Operations Vice President Lauren Dreyer said the company has made an investment in setting up the required infrastructure to serve the Indian market. " We've built our Starlink operations specifically for India in recognition of Indian security requirements and other regulations, establishing controls at every layer for India, and keeping Indian user data within India," she said. The government has granted licences to three companies, including Starlink, to provide satellite communication services in India. However, the satcom companies need spectrum and security clearance to start their services. "We've already made the investment and built the existing ground infrastructure here, 20 gateway sites comprising hundreds of anten

Astronauts arrive at International Space Station on fastest US flight yet

Four astronauts pulled up at the International Space Station on Thursday after launching on an eight-hour express that set a US speed record. The fresh arrivals include a Canadian whose wife will give birth while he's away. SpaceX launched commander Jessica Watkins and her crew for NASA after a three-week delay to fix their Dragon capsule's leaking fuel system. Thick clouds threatened all morning to halt the countdown but in the end, the skies cleared enough to allow for a safe liftoff. Although their stay at the International Space Station will last a long six months, the flight there was the quickest yet not only for Elon Musk's company, but any American entity, including NASA. The space station's convenient location when the astronauts launched enabled the fast transit. With the late morning liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Watkins became the first Black woman to lead a crew to orbit. A geologist who worked with NASA's Mars rover Curiosity a decade ago, Watkins i

SpaceX's Starship launches into orbit for first time but flight ends early

SpaceX launched its enormous Starship into orbit for the first time Monday and successfully delivered the most advanced Starlink satellites yet, but cut the flight short to ensure safety. The spacecraft reentered over the Pacific and splashed down north of Hawaii three hours after blasting off from Texas. The company had been aiming for a 10-hour flight, spanning six full laps around Earth, to prove its readiness for NASA's Artemis moon program. Starship tipped over and erupted in flames upon splashdown, a dramatic end to the mission. Founder Elon Musk's Starship almost didn't make it to orbit when one of its engines shut down prematurely. But with everything else working well and the bad engine no longer needed, flight controllers decided, after several tense minutes, to proceed as planned. "Starship is orbital," Mission Control announced to cheers. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman congratulated SpaceX on reaching orbit and "managing every step in a safe, responsible and especia
