Sunil Bharti Mittal is betting he can build a global satellite-internet network independent of both the US and China, Bloomberg reports. Its headline frames the ambition as a challenge to Elon Musk’s Starlink through OneWeb.
Why it mattersThe pitch lands as governments seek strategic alternatives for critical communications infrastructure. The available report supports the ambition, not a detailed account of the network’s plans or capabilities; satellite connectivity, it turns out, is also a question of who gets to rely on whose infrastructure.
Discuss: Should governments prioritise nationally independent satellite networks, even if that means paying more or building duplicate infrastructure?
