Elon Musk's satellite communications company Starlink's move to launch satellite internet anywhere in india is in crisis.
This is because the Department of Telecom has directed that advance bookings made without a license should not be made.
It is reported that the company is preparing to refund all those who have booked for Starlink service from india so far.
The company had earlier stopped taking pre-orders as per the central government order.
Although the company has not officially announced a refund, it has reportedly sent an e-mail to customers regarding the Department of Telecom's recommendation.
According to national media reports, the company has stated in an e-mail that the timetable for issuing the licenses is currently unknown and that the company has some issues to address before operating in India. Although the company has not officially announced a refund, it has reportedly sent an e-mail to customers regarding the Department of Telecom's recommendation.
In february 2020, the Moscow-based satellite broadband company began accepting pre-orders for customers worldwide.
Pre-orders cost $ 99. As per the central directive, Starlink stopped taking pre-orders in india in november 2021.
The company said it had received more than 5,000 pre-orders during the period.
