Satellite broadband set to create next disruption in India’s telecom sector

India boasts of having the world’s second largest number of internet users at 600 million at the lowest tariffs. But, what about people who don’t have any access to the internet? The number is mind boggling as this constitutes half of Indian population which stands at 1.3 billion.

This digital divide in India has worsened post the onset of Covid 19 pandemic. Access to a good internet connection became a basic need in such an unprecedented scenario where working and studying from home became the new normal.

Owing to the vast market size and huge prospect, India has become the centerstage for launch of high speed, low latency satellite broadband services by global players.
