Breaking IPTV Services To Start By Airtel For Fiber/AirFiber Customers

For that we need cheapest 1Gbps FTTH at 1999. Otherwise it's of no use.

Not really. I think 100 mbps enough for average home and 4k streaming use which is affordable nowadays

So my friend recently applied for Airtel Black ₹699 (Fiber + DTH). I told him that Airtel is launching IPTV soon so maybe he should wait and see. Today when the technicians visited, my friend asked them about IPTV. The technician immediately replied that they're aware of it and when it's launched, if needed, they can replace the DTH with IPTV without any extra charge.

I meant availability of contents and broadcasters not the internet. For 4k 100mbps is more than sufficient.

If Airtel seeks RIO details from the broadcaster means it may fallen under Trai NTO rules .... From this we may guess that jio fibers live tv may be from hathway

Yes , JioFiber's Live TV will be provided by Hathway

What other operator like Jio, Excitel and Tata Play had offered at this price?

Did not understand your question.

so when we say IPTV, what does it mean? An app which will consolidate all the channels ( like jiotv app) that wcan be installed on a smart tv too (like jiotv+)? so no need for a separate set top box?
Can someone explain to a lay man what this IPtv service launch means?

I was checking the waves app from Prasar Bharati which has many live channels, is that IPtv too?

IPTV simply means linear live tv over Internet Protocol. But it can be delivered through many ways like app based, hardware based like iptv stb (most broadband provides like excitel, act) and intranet iptv which works with a specific network like BSNL.

Thank you so much.
following up, so irrespective of the distribution channel, [app/stb/specific network] this will still be regulated by TRAI NTO rules? ( Like minimum 153 NCF)

Yes but NCF can be absorbed by iptv providers in your broadband bill. Only channels provided by networks in their ott app won't be regulated by TRAI rules.
