After Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the United States, Alon Musk is now seen expanding in India. First, his electric vehicle company Tesla has speeded up the process of opening its showroom in India. Now Airtel has announced that it will deal with Elon Musk's SpaceX and offer starlink services.
Airtel says the company has contracted with SpaceX to bring Starlink's high-speed internet to India. This is the first contract of its kind. However, the company will start the starlink service only when it will get all regulatory approvals in India.
Airtel stores will be useful
A joint statement of Airtel and Starlink said the two companies have officially signed the deal on March 11. After receiving all the approvals, Airtel will launch a starlink satellite internet service in India. This is India's first partnership in Starlink. Airtel will offer a starlink service from its stores spread across the country. Starlink devices will also be included in this.
Airtel says he already has a partner with Eutelsat OneWeb. With this new partnership, Airtel will provide more options to customers. Especially in areas where it is difficult to reach the service will be better. With the advent of these services, it will be able to meet the needs of customers across the country.
The company will benefit from Jio compared to Jio
Gopal Vittal, MD and vice chairman of Bharti Airtel, says that providing starlink service in India is a new beginning by dealing with SpaceX. This reflects the company's commitment to providing the Next Generation Satellite Connectivity Technology in India.
The deal with Airtel's starlink will provide him with the power of the market against Jio in the telecom market. Jio Infocom is currently the country's largest telecom company.
Starlink's Internet will change the whole country
Under this deal, Airtel and SpaceX will not only provide starlink services in the country, instead, we will also find opportunities to connect schools and health centers to the Internet. Airtel and SpaceX will also find out how Starlink can further expand the Airtel network.
