Musk’s Starlink seeking to offer satellite broadband internet service in India is a wolf in sheep’s clothing: Thinktank

Amid talk of Elon Musk’s Starlink seeking to offer satellite broadband internet service in India, think tank Kutniti Foundation has highlighted the US giant’s deep ties with US intelligence and military agencies that could impede national interests.

Calling Starlink “a wolf in sheep’s clothing”, the foundation said Starlink is a dual-use technology with “its biggest customer and promoter being the American government intelligence and military.” While legacy mobile phone service providers use telecom towers for offering voice and internet services, satellite communication or satcom involves using a constellation of satellites for offering the same.
