Experts flag Starlink security risks and back domestic satellites

Experts said India should be careful about Starlink and other satellite services, and should build stronger homegrown satellite capacity. They also want the same rules for every operator.
This matters because it affects national security and how satellite services are regulated in India. The reports do not say what action, if any, will follow.
