@Rothmus What is the condition of Sri Lanka,Bhutan and Bangladesh with Starlink.Glad India did not give up.

Stop coordinated pressure on India.

Elon Musk says oligarchs are blocking Starlink in India. Let me tell you what is really stopping it, and why India is right.

Starlink already has its Indian licence. It got the telecom licence in June 2025, space regulator approval in July 2025, and trial spectrum in September 2025.

What is pending is security clearance and FDI approval. Jio and OneWeb are waiting on the same rules. Nobody gets a shortcut.

And India has good reasons to be careful.

In November 2024, Indian agencies caught a boat near the Andaman Islands carrying around 6,000 kg of meth, the biggest drug haul in our history. The smugglers reportedly used a Starlink device to navigate. Police had to write to Starlink asking who bought it.

In December 2024, the Army seized a Starlink-like device along with weapons during a raid in Manipur. Musk said Starlink beams were turned off over India. A few weeks later, The Guardian reported that Starlink was working in parts of Manipur during internet shutdowns, with devices smuggled in from Myanmar.

In 2022 Ukraine, a country at war, asked Musk to extend Starlink coverage to Crimea for an attack on Russia's navy. He said no. One private businessman decided what a nation at war could do.

That is exactly why India is asking for three things. Indian data stays in India. Our agencies can legally monitor traffic, like with every telecom company. And the government can switch off service in a specific area during an emergency.

China doesn't allow Starlink at all and is building its own satellite networks. South Africa asked for local ownership like every other operator there, and Musk called it racism.

Even in America, the standard Starlink plan costs around 120 dollars a month, while normal fiber is 55 to 80 dollars and much faster. It works best where cable doesn't reach.

India needs satellite internet in its villages. Starlink is welcome. On India's terms, like everyone else.

This is not about oligarchs. It is about who holds the off switch to our internet.

@chamath Lease does not add value to your home and benefits the companies es economy more than the customer.Outright ownership for both panel and battery gives all these advantages plus you can sell excess energy to the grid.

The governor of California just made this parody video illegal in violation of the Constitution of the United States.

Would be a shame if it went viral.

Current Medicare rules pay almost double for routine services if they are done at a hospital rather than at a physician’s office, despite the fact that:

a) there is no evidence that suggests better outcomes
b) this has lead to a lot of industry consolidation to game the system
