Nelco to Resell Satellite Internet: A New Strategy
Imagine Nelco as a shop that sells internet from satellites.
They've gotten permission to sell internet provided by companies like Starlink and OneWeb.
Instead of building their own satellites, Nelco will resell their internet services to customers.
This lets Nelco offer internet on the move, at sea, and in the air.
It's a big opportunity because the market for satellite internet in India is expected to grow a lot.
Nelco already provides some satellite communication services, but this new plan is a big change in strategy.
Nelco received preliminary approval to resell satellite internet services.
They'll partner with companies like Starlink, OneWeb, Kuiper, and Jio Satellite.
This shifts Nelco's strategy from launching their own satellites to reselling.
The company is targeting both retail and on-the-move connectivity.
The Indian satellite communications market is projected to reach $20 billion by 2028.
