Thats actually a big risk. ACT started providing IPTV though Act Stream 4K box and they have been at loggerheads with local broadband people from a long time now. Lets see how LCOs take thisAll are being provided by Jio itself. DEN/Hathway/GTPL are Jio owned companies. LCO is needed as they have the last mile connectivity.
Another issue is which @Esmail spoke of in this article is that "It is worth noting that earlier Jio had plans of launching Tv services as IPTv riding on its own fiber internet service through the Jio Tv app installed in its Android based STB. Later Jio faced severe resistance from local cable operators (LCOs) who would lose their livelihood as people would disconnect cable connections and move to Jio's IPTv service. LCOs could indulge in fiber cutting and damage Jio's infrastructure in order to safeguard their business. As a solution to this problem, Jio earlier this year bought majority stakes in Hathway, GTPL and Den which are major Multi System Operators (MSOs)."
