Meteorologists say it’s down to light scattering off particles in the air, not anything supernatural. Meh, we’re going with the Upside Down. Perfect timing for Halloween 😆 Writer: Julie

India has a massive rural internet connectivity gap, and this is exactly where Starlink makes a difference More than 900 MILLION people live in rural India, where reliable, high-speed internet remains difficult to access in many communities Just look at the rural internet subscription numbers from TRAI (September 2022): • Bihar — 28 per 100 people • Madhya Pradesh — 28 • Uttar Pradesh — 29 • Jharkhand — 32 • Chhattisgarh — 33 • Assam — 34 Across India, rural areas averaged just 38 internet subscriptions per 100 people, compared to 105 in urban areas That is an ENORMOUS connectivity gap And this is exactly where Starlink makes a real difference Traditional internet infrastructure is expensive and difficult to expand into remote villages, mountainous regions and other hard-to-reach areas Starlink delivers high-speed internet directly from space, connecting communities to education, healthcare, businesses, and economic opportunities that were previously difficult to access For nearly FIVE YEARS, Elon Musk and the Starlink team have been working to bring this technology to India Yet not able to serve a single commercial service, it is still waiting on final clearances and spectrum assignment For millions of Indians, better internet access means opportunities they never had before Starlink is ready to help connect them India needs Starlink
