Before the service can start, SpaceX must get permission from the Indian government. This deal happened just one day after another telecom company in India also signed a similar agreement with SpaceX.

Mathew Oommen, the head of Jio, said this partnership is a big step toward better internet in India. He said Starlink will help Jio’s internet services reach more people, making the internet stronger and easier to use. He also said this will help small businesses and communities grow.

With this agreement, Jio and SpaceX will work together to see how Starlink’s satellite internet can improve Jio’s services. Jio will also help SpaceX offer internet directly to customers and businesses.

Jio will sell Starlink services in its stores and on its website. It will also help customers set up and activate the service.

Jio is one of the biggest mobile internet providers in the world, and Starlink is a leading company in satellite internet. Together, they will work to bring good internet even to the most remote parts of India.

Jio said this partnership will make internet services better for small businesses and local communities.

Starlink’s technology will support JioAirFiber and JioFiber, making it easier to provide fast internet in places where normal networks do not work well. This will help close the gap between cities and villages by bringing internet access to more people.

Jio and SpaceX are also looking at other ways to work together and improve India’s digital world.

Gwynne Shotwell, the head of SpaceX, said she is happy about this partnership. She said SpaceX is excited to work with Jio and hopes to get permission soon from the Indian government to bring Starlink’s high-speed internet to more people and businesses across India.
