Satcom must follow telecom industry’s low-cost, high-volume model to succeed: Scindia
NEW DELHI: As satellite players such as Elon Musk’s Starlink and Eutelsat One Web await spectrum allocation to launch services, communications minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Wednesday suggested that the companies should go in for affordability in pricing at launch to gain scale, in line with the strategy adopted by telecom and broadband providers.
“India has had a very strong track record of showing the world how high volumes and low pricing can lead not only in greater penetration, but also (in realising) great amounts of revenue for firms,” Scindia said in the Lok Sabha.
