The government had issued a Letter of Intent to Starlink for satcom services, sources said on Wednesday.

Starlink is a satellite internet service developed by SpaceX — the American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company founded in 2002 by the world’s richest man, Elon Musk. It provides high-speed, low-latency broadband internet worldwide using satellite technology.

Sources said the Department of Telecom had issued the LoI to Starlink. Prior to this, the government had issued licences to Eutelsat OneWeb and Jio Satellite Communications.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
