Bharti Airtel Founder and Chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal says India should have full control over the satellite "kill switch," a tool that can shut down or limit satellite networks if needed.
He believes this is key for keeping India's telecom systems safe and secure, especially as the country gears up for satellite broadband services.
Kill switch can block satellite access
The "kill switch" lets operators block access to satellites on anything from a single device to an entire country.
Mittal warns that "the kill switch, as we call it, should not be sitting somewhere else."
India must have control over its own space destiny.
