BENGALURU, Oct 11 – Elon Musk said he would price BENGALURU, Oct 11 – Elon Musk said he would price Starlink’s satellite internet service affordably in India to compete with Mukesh Ambani’s low-cost Reliance Jio, escalating his attacks on the rival days before Jio Platforms launches India’s largest-ever IPO, targeting a $106 billion valuation. Both companies’ satellite ventures await final security clearance. Cheap data, the strategy that built Jio and that Musk has used in markets such as Kenya, remains key. SpaceX also plans to enter the mobile carrier market, starting in the US. Musk gave no specific India prices. Mobile data there costs about 8 cents per gigabyte, among the world’s lowest. “Obviously, if Starlink is too expensive in India, no one will buy it, so SpaceX will need to make pricing affordable,” he posted on X on Saturday.
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Thursday WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Thursday suspended Microsoft and Adobe from the federal permanent labor certification program used to sponsor skilled foreign workers for green cards, accusing the firms of fraud and of displacing American employees.

US forces struck two Iranian rocket launchers on L US forces struck two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, the first publicly acknowledged American attack on Iran since late July. CENTCOM spokesman Capt. Tim Hawkins said IRGC forces were observed preparing to fire rockets loaded with sea mines into the strategic waterway. Last week, President Trump said all mines had been cleared and warned that any new mining would be destroyed. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the strike killed and wounded several soldiers and civilians and vowed “response and punishment.” The attack risks breaking a month-long lull in a six-month war as Washington shifts toward economic pressure on Tehran.
