Dear Elon,
The online education, digital payments, and small businesses going global you speak of are already happening in India on dirt-cheap internet.
Jio revolutionized cheap internet back in 2016. The price per GB of data crashed from ₹228 to ₹8, shooting monthly usage from under 2 GB to 40 GB+ and turning connectivity from a luxury into a daily utility for hundreds of millions.
India’s internet sector isn't a damsel in distress waiting to be saved by a savior in orbit. That said, we still welcome competition. So drop the sarcasm and go finish your security clearances so Indians can actually choose whether they want affordable ground data or a shiny space toy.
Public taunts won't skip the line. Pfizer tried forcing its way into the Indian market during COVID era using the same playbook, bypassing mandatory protocols and leaning on public pressure through influencers. It didn't work then, and it won't work now.
“India winning all the time is making cricket boring”, say the intellectual wankers and hipsters.
We 90s kids survived the dark ages. We dreamt of this golden era, and we will never get bored of winning.
