Discussion How India will handle significantly higher costing of Satellite internet?

[Athreya B N]

Factories, schools, colleges and banks in villages are waiting for fast internet (satellite) instead of BSNL's wireless leasedline of 2 mbps to 10 mbps. So, space fiber will adversely impact BSNL broadband and leasedline business in rural areas.

Exactly

Wrong title, Why India will handle higher costing?
There is currently no need of satellite internet in India. 5G service and Fiber are enough for us.

Our company's factory is paying Rs.30,000 every month for 10 mbps of BSNL leasedline in semi urban area, no 5G tower available for airfiber, now its time for spacefiber to connect at lower price

If the business units can pay hefty sums then yes not in 2030, it will happen in 2025 only under Starlink Trump pressure

Individual If and only If can afford Private satcoms then sure. Also same goes for village private style schools if funding backed. Ig BharatNet is clear winner in terms of price.

We can't get Bharatnet without LCO, so here LCO's are mostly culprit with demanding of high amounts due to last mile distance.
