The dispute has its roots in a longer regulatory showdown. SpaceX accused unnamed rivals of blocking Starlink's launch in India, with Musk posting last week that "certain oligarchs" were maintaining a "monopolistic stranglehold on the Indian people." India's Ministry of Communications rejected those accusations, describing its satellite communications regulatory framework as "fair and non-discriminatory." Starlink has received a satellite communications license in India, but is still awaiting security clearances and spectrum allocation before it can begin commercial operations. SpaceX Vice President Lauren Dreyer said at an industry conference in New Delhi last week that the company had spent five years navigating India's regulatory process and had designed its network to comply with the country's security requirements.
