Starlink India: Unlimited Use, 100% Uptime, What’s The Cost?

One of the leading global entrepreneurs, Elon Musk is entering the Indian market with the satellite Wi-Fi delivery company Starlink. While this company is already in operation and several parts of the globe and successfully running in 10s of countries, it is entering the Indian market now.

In his recent interview, Elon commented that he is very excited about starting the operations of this satellite Wi-Fi provider in India, and he is now hopeful of substantiating the operations in the domestic market.

The latest developments are suggesting that Starlink will come with 100 percent up time, meaning there will be no connectivity or buffering errors, no matter which part of the country it is being operated from.

This is great news for frequent travellers and the people in the remote region, considering that the company is promising nearly hundred percent up time.

When it comes to the pricing prospect, this is where things are getting interesting and Starlink must start to be more effective and efficient in this regard.

Crucial financial and regulatory stuff associated with this connection include

- ₹34,000 hardware cost(one time)

- ₹8,600/month for unlimited data

- 30-day trial

It works in all weather conditions and is a satellite-based internet service by SpaceX, unlike regular fibre networks. This could very well be a game changer when it comes to the network delivery and operations.

But considering the otherwise economical options that are available domestic with Jio and Airtel, it needs to be seen if this eon company would be able to crack the Indian market with such high prices.
