Elon Musk's Starlink service is preparing to come to India. For this, Starlink has joined hands with Indian telecom companies Jio and Airtel. People have many questions in their minds about Starlink, which provides internet service through satellites. It is being seen as a digital revolution. During a special conversation with TV9 Bharatvarsh, telecom expert Anil Kumar answered many important questions related to Starlink.

Question 1: Why is Starlink's arrival in India a digital revolution?

Answer: 5% of India's population lives in such a 20 percent area, which is called a dark spot where there is no coverage at all. Starlink can provide internet connectivity to such people. The good thing about Starlink is that this service can be reached immediately without doing any work on the ground. However, the service will be 4 times more expensive than a normal telephone. The government will now have to play a role in this. This service will be very helpful during such natural disasters when other telecom services come to a halt. Because connectivity will continue through satellite. Starlink has about 6500 satellites which are in the sky above. They orbit in the lower orbit of the Earth. Due to being in the lower orbit, the signals can come and go very fast, which is not possible for the rest of the internet users in India. The advantage of starting is very high.

Question 2: What will change in India with the arrival of Starlink?

Answer: Those who want more speed and reliability can depend on it. Coverage can come where there is no network at all. When mobile came in 1995, 30 years ago. At that time only very high-class people had mobiles. Gradually mobiles came to poor people as well. This service kept increasing. Today even the vegetable vendor has a mobile phone. Even the sweeper has one. The situation will be the same in the beginning. In the beginning, satellite phones will be with people with higher range. Nowadays we see that the quality and service of normal mobile phones has become very bad. Satellite phones will improve it.

Question 3: What are the benefits of Starlink coming to India?

Answer: We can guess from this that Starlink has a complete system. They make satellites and also have their satellite launcher. They also provide satellite service. This is a unique feature that will not be available with any other operator. Neither Bharti Airtel nor Jio has it till now. This technology is going to be very good for India. Existing operators will also have to face a lot of competition because this facility is going to come above the normal telephone. Calls can be made and sent on mobile phones. This will benefit the economy a lot.
