Reliance Jio has officially started the registration process for acquiring customers for its new optical fibre-based broadband services in the country. This will be one of the largest greenfield broadband networks in the world based on optical fibre.
RJIo is likely to bundle offerings across broadband, Internet-based set-top box for television and voice telephony. RJio, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), will offer high-speed broadband under the brand JioGigaFiber, targeting 50 million homes to start with.
“Fixed-line broadband offers hundreds of megabits, even gigabits per second of data speeds. Jio is determined to move India to among the top five in fixed-line broadband,” RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani had said at the company’s 41st AGM earlier. “In countries with better developed communication infrastructure, more than 80 per cent of data consumption happens indoors through fixed-line connectivity. Optical fibre-based fixed-line broadband is the future.”
