Key disadvantages of allowing Starlink in India include: National security risks: Foreign-controlled network limits India's ability to shut off service in sensitive border areas or ensure availability during crises. Past reports of terminals with militants or smugglers raise misuse concerns. Data sovereignty issues: Laser links could route traffic outside Indian gateways, complicating monitoring and lawful interception. High costs: Hardware and monthly fees likely far exceed affordable terrestrial options like Jio or Airtel, limiting rural access. Market impact: Could disrupt local telecoms and foster over-reliance on a single US provider instead of domestic alternatives.
