As per the latest reports, Jio will make Starlink solutions available through its retail outlets as well as through its online storefronts.
Jio is already the largest mobile operator in the country, in terms of the data traffic. Now, with this latest partnership with Starlink, Jio will become the largest mobile operator in the world.
“Jio will not only offer Starlink equipment in its retail outlets but will establish a mechanism to support customer service installation and activation,” Jio said in a media release.
