At a glance
Sunil Bharti Mittal, chairman of Bharti Airtel, India's No. 2 telecom operator, says Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet can operate in India only if India keeps the power to shut it off. Starlink has not yet received approval to operate in India.
Key points
- Mittal said selling Starlink in India is fine, but control must stay locally.
- A kill switch means the power to slow down or fully shut off the network.
- Starlink satellites send data to each other by laser, so traffic can bypass ground stations in India.
- An analysis says India's security rules conflict with this laser design.
Why it matters
As satellite internet becomes cross-border telecom infrastructure, which country can control the network has become a key issue.</br>
