When one billionaire can block competition, ordinary people pay the price. ๐ฎ๐ณ
If Starlink can bring internet to remote villages, help children access education, and give small businesses global opportunities, why should its entry face obstacles?
@elonmusk deserves a fair chance to compete. India needs more choices, not barriers that protect established interests. ๐
Internet access should be a right, not a privilege. ๐
Elon Musk is pushing for competition that could connect millions of underserved people in India, give children access to education, and help small businesses reach the world.
More competition, better connectivity, more opportunities. Let people choose. ๐ @elonmusk
Dear Prime Minister Ambani,
Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.
Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?
There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better.
Thank you ๐
