周四，政府严厉批评了美国商业巨头埃隆·马斯克关于 Starlink 卫星通信服务被封锁的指控，并明确表示：遵守相关安全规范是该国所有卫星通信服务提供商的绝对义务。政府还强调，针对所有电信服务（包括卫星服务），都建立了公平、非歧视性的监管框架。政府在一份声明中表示，任何认为该监管框架或其执行存在不公平或歧视行为的观点都是毫无根据的、错误的。
The government on Thursday slammed US business tycoon Elon Musk over his allegations that Starlink's satcom services are being blocked, and made it clear that demonstrating compliance with security norms is an absolute must for every satcom licensee in the country. The government also emphasised that a fair and non-discriminatory framework is in place for all telecom offerings, including satellite services. Any suggestion that the framework or its application is unfair or discriminatory is baseless and misconceived, the government said in a statement.
周三，马斯克声称某些寡头为了维护自己在印度的垄断地位，故意封锁了他公司的卫星通信服务。社交媒体上流传着一些帖子，质疑印度卫星通信服务监管框架的公平性，认为该框架存在歧视性。电信部周四表示：“政府已经为所有电信服务（包括卫星通信服务）建立了公平、非歧视性的许可机制。”目前，政府已向三家卫星通信公司——由马斯克领导的 Starlink、Jio Satcom 以及 Eutelsat OneWeb —— 颁发了在印度开展业务的许可证。
On Wednesday, Musk alleged that "certain oligarchs" have blocked his company's satellite communication services in India to maintain their monopoly in the country."A post is being circulated in social media regarding the fairness of India's regulatory framework for satellite communication services and suggesting that it is being applied in a discriminatory manner." The Government has put in place a fair and non-discriminatory authorisation framework for all telecommunication services, including satellite communication services," the telecom ministry said on Thursday. The government has granted licenses to three satellite communications companies -- Musk-led Starlink, Jio Satcom and Eutelsat OneWeb, for starting operations in India. However, all the companies need spectrum and security clearance before starting the service.
不过，这些公司都需要在提供服务前获得频谱资源及安全审查的批准。电信部指出，根据许可证的条款和条件，所有获得许可的公司都必须证明自己符合相关安全要求；此举旨在确保所提供的服务符合各项安全标准，从而保护所有用户及其数据的安全。"在此过程中，对所有三家持牌方的安全评估目前正在进行中,"部长会说。
The telecom ministry said that under the terms and conditions of license, every such licensee is required to demonstrate compliance with security conditions." This is aimed at ensuring that services provided meet various security requirements to ensure safety of all users and their data. Security assessment as part of this process is currently under way in respect of all three licensees," the ministry said.
该部表示，一旦某个持牌实体完成这一流程，便可进入下一步，即寻求分配频谱。"目前来看，所有三家实体在监管层面大致处于同一阶段。因此，认为该框架或其适用存在不公平或歧视性的说法纯属站不住脚的误解,"声明称。
The ministry said that as and when this process is completed for a licensed entity, it may proceed to the next step of seeking assignment of spectrum." At present, all three entities are broadly at the same regulatory stage. As such, the suggestion that the framework or its application is unfair or discriminatory is baseless and misconceived," the statement said.
