IMC 2024: Satcom services need to coexist with terrestrial networks, says Sunil Mittal
Bharti Airtel Chairman Sunil Mittal said today.
“Opening up of the space sector to private industry is a big step….but intertemporal choices will have to be made as to how satellite services which are moving fast and technologies need to coexist with terrestrial networks,” Mittal said while speaking during the inaugural of World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA-24) and India Mobile Congress.
There are around 5% of people who are in those remote areas, in mountains, in forests where USO is trying to provide the services. With the Satcom services, they will be able to connect on a fast speed network to the internet, he said.
However, there is now a debate going on across the world, he said.
«Telecom companies around the globe have done seminal work in connecting the world. They will take the satellite services into the remotest parts of the nations through the USO program and directly through themselves. The satellite companies who have ambitions to come into urban areas serving elite retail customers just need to take the telecom licenses like everybody with the same conditions and will have to buy the spectrum and pay license fees as the telecom players,» he said.
