Alan Musk’s satellite internet company Starlink has finally got the green signal from the Government of India. Now the internet access to far-flung and villages of the country will be possible soon. But a big question remains in the minds of the people whether the Internet of Starlink will be cheaper in India?
How much will the price be?
The information about Starlink’s tariff plans has been revealed that it has become clear that its prices will not be like common telecom companies at the moment. For this service in India, the first cost of about Rs 33,000 will come on the device. After that, unlimited data will be given every month for about Rs 3,000.
Why won’t be cheap?
Actually, Starlink is a satellite based service, which directly sends signals from space. Its technology is quite different and expensive, so its prices are also relatively high. The same model has been adopted in neighboring countries like Bangladesh and Bhutan, and the same will be seen in India.
What is special?
However, Starlink can also give a one -month free trial, so that new users can try it. Another special thing is that after getting approval from the government, its rollout will not take much time. It is expected that service can start within a month or two of getting the spectrum.
Blessing for villages?
In cities where there is already fast internet facility, starlink will not be a very attractive option, but in areas where internet connectivity is not still or very weak, this technique can prove to be a game Changer. Alan Musk himself has repeatedly reiterated that his service is especially for those areas where the rest of the companies do not reach.
So if you were thinking about Starlink that it would be cheap and economical like local internet companies, then it does not seem possible to happen right now. But for those who are in dire need of internet and they do not have any other option, Starlink is not less than a boon.
