Elon Musk-backed Starlink stops taking pre-orders in India after warning from DoT

Elon Musk-backed Starlink has seemingly stopped taking pre-orders in India. Earlier this week, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) warned Starlink to get the necessary permission.

NGOs have raised concerns calling Starlink’s method of taking early deposits criminal. The development comes shortly after the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) had warned that the company has not acquired licenses to provide the services in the country.
