Starlink Faces Approval Delays in India Amid Competition and Regulatory Hurdles

After Musk alleged protectionism over Starlink's wait for approval in India, Sunil Bharti Mittal argued that OneWeb should be approved first. Mittal says OneWeb applied five years ago, has had a ground network ready for three years and has had satellites over India for five years. The Indian government has said all three licensees are at similar stages, awaiting security clearances.
