Reliance 表示欢迎 Starlink 进入印度卫星互联网市场
印度首富说欢迎 Starlink 来竞争，对方已有 1.1 万颗卫星和 20 个网关，Jio 自己的星座却要等 2027 年才试射，差距挺明显。
Mukesh Ambani 旗下的 Reliance 公开表示欢迎 Elon Musk 的 Starlink 在印度参与竞争。Starlink 目前在近地轨道已有超过 11,000 颗卫星，并针对印度开发了本地数据安全方案，同时在印度全国建设了 20 个网关站点。相比之下，Reliance 旗下 Jio 的 LEO 星座尚未发射任何卫星，首次测试发射计划在 2027 年 9 月，大规模部署预计要到 2028 年初。双方竞争可能推动印度偏远地区网络覆盖和资费改善。
BREAKING: Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance says it welcomes competition from Elon Musk’s Starlink in India.
Here are the facts:
• Starlink already has 11,000+ satellites in low Earth orbit.
• Starlink has already confirmed that it has developed India-specific security controls and arrangements to keep Indian users’ data within India. It has also built 20 gateway sites across the country.
• Jio has not yet launched any satellites for its own proposed LEO constellation. Its first test launch is reportedly targeted for September 2027, with mass deployment expected to begin in early 2028.
Starlink’s global network is already built. Giving Indians access to Starlink would provide another option for communities where reliable internet access remains a challenge.
More competition can push providers to improve coverage, service, and pricing. Indian consumers deserve that choice.
India should welcome every provider that complies with their rules.
Let them compete in India, and let consumers decide who earns their business.
