New Delhi: Elon Musk-LED Satellite Broadband Broadband Arm Starlink plans to explore collaboration with telecommunications companies in India to expand broadband services in this country with a focus on rural areas, Top company officials said on Friday.
The Indian Starlink Country Director at SpaceX Sanjay Bhargava told PTI that discussions with broadband service providers will begin after 12 phase aspirational districts identified by Niti Aayog and the company will see the interest rate of various players and USOF (Universal Service Liabilities).
“I hope that we will get a 100 percent broadband package of time that can function as a model for other districts but devils in detail and there may be many good reasons why one or more broadband providers don’t want to collaborate, even though for me it seems impossible,” said Bhargava.
Starlink claims to have received more than 5,000 bookings in advance from India.
The company wore a deposit of $ 99 or 7,350 per customer and claimed to provide data speed in the range of 50-150 megabits per second in the beta stage.
Bhargava previously announced that the company would focus on 10 Lok Sabha’s constituency areas of rural services to provide internet services for 80 percent of the star terminals sent to India.
“In Starlink, we can slide quickly if we have license approval and …
Starlinks can move to other remote areas,” Bhargava said.
At the social media post, Bhargava said the company wants to collaborate with all.
“We want to collaborate with all and have others besides we are licensed to provide satellite broadband so that satellites plus joint terrestrial can provide 100 percent broadband, especially in rural districts,” he said.
There are several Starlink reports contemplate the terminal manufacture to provide satellite broadband services in India but Bhargava said the company was not actively thought to make a terminal for local broadband.
