Airtel and spacex: Bharti Airtel has tied up with Allen Musk’s company SpaceX, under which the high-speed internet service of Starlink will soon be provided in India. This is the first such agreement in the country. Airtel and SpaceX together will work in the fields of sales, business, serving customers, connecting rural areas, schools and health centers in Airtel’s retail stores. This initiative will also try to bring internet connectivity in those areas where broadband service has not yet reached.

Airtel said this

Bharti Airtel Managing Director and Vice President Gopal Vittal said that it is an important achievement to bring Starlink Services for Airtel customers to partner with SpaceX that reflects his commitment to satellite based internet connectivity.

What is Starlink Service

SpaceX’s Starlink service is a satellite internet system that aims to provide mobile broadband all over the world. With this help, services like remote working, online gaming, video calling and streaming will also be possible in backward areas. Gopal Vittal said that this cooperation will increase the ability to deliver world-class high-speed broadband service to the most backward areas of India.

What did Spacex say

SpaceX president Gwin Shotwell said that Airtel’s team has played an important role in India’s telecom revolution. In such a situation, SpaceX in association with Airtel is a great step according to the business to make its direct offering more effective. He said that he is excited to work with Airtel. Also, it will be interesting to see how people can change their business with Starlink service in India.

Broadband status in India

Currently, India’s broadband market is dominated by Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio, which has more than 1.4 crore wired broadband customers and about 50 crore mobile internet users. Airtel also has more than 30 crore broadband customers. However, telecom companies are worried that after spending more than $ 20 billion, they may lose their customers due to the Starlink service of Allen Musk as satellite technology is developing quite rapidly.
