India's Department of Telecommunications has announced new rules allowing satellite-broadband providers like Starlink and Amazon's Project Kuiper to operate in the country, contingent on strict regulations. Operators must register their terminals locally, implement geo-blocking for devices obtained abroad, and establish "special monitoring zones" near borders for law enforcement oversight. The regulations aim to prevent unauthorized use, especially amid concerns over separatist insurgents potentially using such services to evade surveillance. Compliance is mandatory, with immediate disconnection required for unregistered devices operating within Indian territory, reflecting national security priorities.
