^^ as per reports and Mittal's own public statements, all the interested parties are waiting for the same and Airtel was first in the line.
Musk just wanted a special treatment and red carpet welcome, which didn't happen and hence the tantrum.
So both Airtel and Jio will collab with Starlink to introduce the services in India? Or Jio is planning to have their own product because when we had such issues some tech youtubers were claiming that Jio have plans to do what Elon did with starlink but we don't even have the basic plan yet that is why Ambani is influencing the government to avoid the introduction of Starlink until the native Jio product is completely ready.
Airtel backed one web is already there and waiting for approval. Reliance also announced that their plan includes 1600 satellites and 20-ish ground stations.
Also, considering our past experience like 1999 kargil war when we were denied gps access ( NavIC was born because of this crisis) so don't think anyone want to depend on US much. Backing local guy makes lot more sense from strategic POV.
Idk what kind of collaboration would happen between all 3 parties, maybe starlink planning to use desis ground stations for their services, can't be sure.
