The HT report states that Starlink will start its satellite internet service in India in the coming two months. Starlink has also fixed the price for service, in which the installation kit will be priced at Rs 33,000 and the plan will start from Rs 3,000 per month. However, Starlink has not announced any official announcement. Not only this, the report states that a trial strategy will be adopted to woo customers, under which a one -month free trial will be available with purchasing the device.
It is a common strategy in today’s time, which adopt many brands, such as subscription to OTT apps. Free trial gives customers a chance to decide whether the service is right for them or not.
If this leak is correct, Starlink’s price strategy will be the same as neighboring countries. For example, the price of Equipment of Starlink in Bangladesh and Bhutan is only Rs 33,000, according to Indian currency.
Starlink has received its operating license only last week and is expected that the company will start full flazing operation in India within the next two to twelve months. Starlink aims to provide high-speed internet connectivity in India’s remote and low-service areas, where traditional broadband infrastructure is limited or unavailable.
By using its group of low Arch Orbit (Leo) satellite, Starlink is aiming to deliver stable and fast internet in areas where the first connectivity was a challenge. Industry experts believe that Starlink’s entry into the Indian market can increase competition in the country’s telecom sector.
