From Musk to Mittal, Ambani to Amazon: Why such a big race for satcom?
Internet communication in India has a new battleground called "satcom," different from regular networks. Indian and foreign firms compete for satellite spectrum to access the internet.

The competition is intense due to more players, including foreign giants like Elon Musk's Starlink and Amazon, unlike the limited private telecom market with Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea.
