India: Starlink is Backup, Not Competition, for Broadband

Imagine the internet like roads.

India is building many main roads (fibre optic networks) to connect villages.

Starlink is like a backup road, using satellites.

The government says the main roads will cover most places.

Starlink is expensive and slower, making it less useful for most people.

It will be helpful for those who need internet where the main roads aren't built yet.

It's like a spare tire, useful but not the main way to travel.
