There has been a discussion going on for a long time about the entry of Elon Musk's satellite internet service Starlink in India. Before entering India, Starlink entered India's neighboring country Bhutan (Starlink Bhutan). If the way for Starlink's entry into India is cleared, then soon Indians will also be able to enjoy the Starlink service.
Mukesh Ambani's company Reliance Jio already dominates the mobile and broadband sector in India. The thing to understand here is how much cheaper are Jio plans than Starlink plans? It is worth noting that Starlink service is a satellite service, while Jio has fiber service available for users.
