NAVIGATING THE SATELLITE SKIES: INDIA’S INTERNET REVOLUTION

Bharti Airtel and Eutelsat OneWeb is planning to launch satellite internet services in India in June 2024. Reliance Jio will follow later. These services will make the connectivity ecosystem more encompassing and democratic. Currently, many areas in India do not have proper connectivity. By providing broadband connection in remote areas, the quality of education and healthcare services will improve. It will also enhance our country’s defence and security.

BREAKING NEW GROUND: AIRTEL AND ONEWEB'S JOINT VENTURE

THE HOME OF TOMORROW’S INTERNET

In a world where connectivity-thirst is at an all-time peak, the joint Bharti Airtel/Eutelsat OneWeb effort is truly revolutionary as the world awaits the service to begin broadly in June 2024. The home of millions will become a node in the global network – a portal to a world of opportunities for the many who otherwise would have been unable to access them.

CRAFTING A CONNECTED FUTURE

The tie-up is part of a vision to make sure no home is left behind in digital transformation, and part of a broader effort to bring high-speed internet to every nook and corner of India, especially when it comes to its rural or underserved areas.

A HOME WITHOUT NEWS: NAVIGATING CHANGES

UNDERSTANDING HOME IN THE DIGITAL AGE

THE CRADLE OF CONNECTIVITY

Today, home increasingly refers to more than just a place; it encompasses a node in a tremendous network. It refers to where we learn, work, and play, mapping on to the growth of the internet and the technologies that are remaking us.

MORE THAN JUST A PLACE

Home in all our imaginations is rapidly emerging as a centre of digital innovation, a place where the future is becoming manifest. The transformations described in the preceding paragraphs, from the satellite internet services backed by the Indian telecommunications giant Bharti Airtel and Eutelsat OneWeb, to the trends in the consumption of news, all reflect how the digital frontier is unfolding at home.

Indeed, these efforts not only promise to eradicate the digital divide, they promise to enrich our civic and social fabric in the process. The road to that future is as important as it is exciting, and every home and every citizen in the connected era needs to stay in the know about such developments.
