Elon Musk announced that SpaceX will price its Starlink satellite internet service affordably in India to challenge Mukesh Ambani's low-cost telecom company, Reliance Jio, which is set to launch a $106 billion IPO soon. This comes as part of an escalating feud between the two business leaders over regulatory approvals and market dominance; Musk accused Ambani of stalling Starlink’s entry into India’s internet market to favor his own satellite venture. Currently, mobile data costs in India are among the lowest globally at about 7.74 rupees ($0.08) per gigabyte.
