Breaking Airtel & SpaceX partners to launch Starlink Satellite internet service in India

[Esmail]

But can they sustain in running both services, which is not affordable in long term @Esmail bro

I see more uptake from the enterprise segment B2B (ATMs in remote rural areas, mobile towers for operators who don't have a tie up with a SatCom operator like Vi) rather than individual retail users B2C for home broadband due to the affordability factor.

Airtel is definitely better but only on 4g. Jio is better in 5g

Since Jio relies on an SA (Standalone) 5G network, if I have a poor signal on its specific 5G frequency, I won’t be able to fully utilize the unlimited 5G data.

On the other hand, Airtel uses an NSA (Non-Standalone) 5G network, which operates on multiple 4G and 5G frequencies. By setting my phone to "5G Only" mode, it can internally leverage 4G for better connectivity while still maintaining a 5G connection.

I think the price will be competitve for home users also

They might bundle DTH with space fiber for rural homes.

Okay where to book the connection ???

Lets get this SpaceFiber

Space Fiber Means, There Will Be Wire From Satellite To Our Home?

Airtel was partnering with Tata Play for DTH but somehow did with Starlink for satellite broadband.

It Would Be Really Fine If Someone Can Explain How Satellite Broadband Will Work!

lol

There would be a dish installed on the roof which will adjust as per satellite location

This is just like a DTH
They fix an antenna on terrace and we can enjoy tv and internet inside home antenna will receive signal from satellite which were already placed

In near future we may not see the mobile towers also bcoz even for mobile signals we will use satellite

However jio will never launch any of their services first they wait for others to start and he then enters with cheap rates and later he knows when to start the game

 

[Ashok Varma]

They might bundle Space fiber with DTH+OTT @ Rs.999 for 20 mbps and @ Rs.699 for 10 mbps.

Yes Jio sucks on 4G.

Bharti chairman Sunil Mittal in a statement Wednesday said that satellite technology would offer a new technological dimension to the telecom industry, and it would facilitate consumers with connectivity at remote regions worldwide.

“For the telecom industry, the addition of satellite technology should be no different from bringing new technologies to its customers. Just like 4G, 5G, and 6G in the future, we will now have one more technology in our mix, i.e. SAT-G,” Mittal said.

Satellite, terrestrial players should work together: Sunil Mittal - ET Telecom

Sunil Mittal: Further, he said that the addition of satellite technology should be no different from bringing new technologies to its customers in the telecom sector.
