Summary
Elon Musk’s criticism of an Indian industrialist and the government over Starlink’s delayed launch is seen as poor strategy and unlikely to speed approvals. Indian authorities are reviewing security risks after the service has been linked to drug smuggling, illicit use in conflict zones and scams, which highlights enforcement challenges for satellite internet. The editorial notes that India’s existing satellite‑communication policies do not specifically block Starlink, but the government must clarify why security concerns are now delaying the rollout.

From the original report
Elon Musk’s broadside against Mukesh Ambani and the Indian government over the delay in launching Starlink in India is poor optics and unlikely to speed up the process. Accusing an Indian industrialist of effectively controlling the government is hardly the best way to persuade the Centre to expedite regulatory and security clearances.
