Starlink's renewed India Gen-2 satellite application signals direct-to-device ambitions.
As the brief logged it
Lightreading (Gagandeep Kaur, Aug 25) reports Starlink has refiled its Gen-2 satellite application with Indian authorities in terms read as opening a path toward D2D service, even as final approval for commercial broadband service in India remains pending. Single-outlet, no primary DoT/IN-SPACe filing text located this cycle — treat as directional, not confirmed. A genuine dated development in the exact Indian sovereign/commercial-connectivity market where SES's own O3b pipeline sits stalled behind an MHA security-clearance review.
