Jio Satellite gets DoT nod to start broadband-from-space services

A Reliance Jio unit has just received a key approval from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to start high-speed broadband-from-space services.

Jio Satellite Communications Ltd (JSCL), a Jio unit that had applied for a global mobile personal communications by satellite services (GMPCS) licence earlier this year, will shortly be issued a letter of intent (LoI) by the DoT, a top government official told ET.
