NEW DELHI: Broadband through satellite is emerging as a major business area for telecom companies from India and abroad with a high-pitched battle on the cards between Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio Platforms, Sunil Mittal-backed Bharti OneWeb, Tata’s Nelco and Elon Musk’s StarLink.
Ambani’s Jio Platforms, which is understood to have applied for a satellite services licence with the government through a newly formed subsidiary, announced a joint venture with Luxembourg based SES, a global satellitebased content connectivity solutions provider, to deliver “scalable and affordable” broadband services by leveraging satellite technology.
