Mumbai headquartered Reliance Industries‘ chairman Mukesh Ambani announced plans to launch fiber-based broadband services to roll-out Internet connectivity to homes and businesses of all sizes simultaneously across 1,100 cities of India. The JioGigaFiber will come with routers and a set-top box for television.
The company has invested more than $36 billion, so far, in creating digital infrastructure to provide mobile broadband connectivity, and is currently conducting beta trials of JioGigaFiber in several thousand homes.
Ambani said that while India had made strides in mobile broadband and is globally competitive, it still lags “significantly in fixed-line broadband. JioGigaFiber will be the largest greenfield fixed-line broadband roll-out anywhere in the world.”
