The name is Starlink.. but to my eyes, it looks like JioStar-Link!

Hold on, let me secure the domain before mota bhai gets ideas!

As per my check now, these domains are already registered since October 2024.

jiostarlink.com
airtelstarlink.com

Recharge prices after this

I don't think so they'll hike the existing ones if the do it then simply boycotting big telecos and getting broadband from LCOs that's it. Actually LCOs provide greater value for money plans. Getting separate Ott combo from providers like Ott play that's it

Even though they were fighting for spectrum allocation methods at the end they are here for business. So both of them look for profits and ease of business EOD. May be they're like - everything's fair in love and war?
In this case its not helpful for Jio more its actually helpful and made ease of operation for Starlink. If they would've decided to operate alone they would've been in losses because Starlink cannot set the aggressive pricing as these telecom players does. So its a win-win for both.

Basically we are under Hitler rule, you have No other option left if you get bad service from Jio and Airtel which Starlink powered. Consumers suffer badly, poor govt do anything for avoiding competition.

So its a win-win for both.

I don't think it's helps consumers, except Hitler and PR experts.

So, Jio will be giving up on their own satellite broadband they were working on? Same for Airtel?

No, I think its directed by Indian Govt under US president Trump pressure, otherwise Indian Govt can't approve Starlink's Satcom license.

Jio hasn't mentioned about it but Airtel has mentioned they will work on both starlink and their own project (one web)
