Starlink’s entry into Indian market not much of a risk for Jio and Airtel, say Analysts

Analysts and industry experts predict that if Starlink enters the Indian market, it won’t immediately threaten Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel because the Elon Musk-owned company’s average monthly global satellite broadband tariffs are almost four times more expensive than the fixed broadband rates of India’s top two telcos.

“India’s fixed broadband price-points (offered by Jio and Airtel) at around $10-13 a month are 1/4th of the average global Starlink price plans of $40-50 a month, and also come with free hardware and zero installation costs”.
