Amazon eyes satellite broadband space in India

Global e-commerce giant Amazon is likely to bring high-speed satellite internet services to India. The move is expected to spark off competition with rivals Bharti-backed OneWeb and Elon Musk's SpaceX and drive down pricey satellite broadband rates. Amazon will approach the government to discuss modalities, authorisations, permits, landing rights and satellite bandwidth leasing costs. The Department of Space (DoS) gives landing rights for downlinking signals of foreign satellites into the country.
