• Starlink, owned by Elon Musk's SpaceX, is preparing to launch satellite internet services in India after receiving a five-year regulatory permit in July.
• The household plan will cost ₹8,600 per month, with a one-time hardware kit fee of ₹34,000, including a satellite dish and router.
• Starlink offers a 30-day trial, unlimited bandwidth, and promises weather-resilient services with over 99.9% uptime and 'plug-and-play' setup.
• The service aims to provide high-speed internet (50-250 Mbps) in rural and isolated regions of India, where traditional broadband infrastructure is often inadequate.
