News Synopsis

The Satellite Internet division of  SpaceX, Starlink

on Friday informed that it is now available in 32 countries.

Starlink Internet service

offers high-speed, low-latency broadband internet across the globe. Currently, the internet service has more than 2,50,000 users globally. 

On Twitter,

the Internet company shared an availability map indicating where its services are "available" across Europe and North America, as well as parts of South America, Australia, and New Zealand. The Starlink satellite interest services, in a tweet, said, "Starlink is now available in 32 countries around the world. People ordering from areas marked 'available' will have their Starlink shipped immediately.”

Other than this, earlier in June 2021, Starlink also registered its business in India via a local unit, Starlink Satellite Communications, and planned to launch the services in the month of April but the

Department of Telecommunications under the Ministry of Communications

in December warned Starlink to get the necessary permission required to offer satellite-based Internet services in India.

The Government of India informed Starlink to stop "booking/rendering the satellite internet service" in India without a license.
