报道:BBNL可能很快就会在东北部提供卫星互联网服务
他说，预计成本是“合理的”，无论是政府还是私人，执行机构的收入短缺将通过6000亿卢比的普遍服务义务基金或USOF来填补。
BBNL也在实施BharatNet项目已在**山区和偏远地区试点了基于卫星的互联网服务。
这位电信部门官员告诉媒体，在该项目在更多的州进行试点后，将制定有关商业推广和服务资费的进一步细节。
该报告补充说，BBNL正提议向7000克的村务委员会和偏远且无法到达的地点，或部署光纤不可用的地方提供基于卫星的互联网。全国已经有约4000名全科医生接受了委任。
这7,000个地点将由四个卫星网关覆盖，其中两个高通量(高温超导BharatNet项目下的卫星。
BBNL提供的太空宽带服务可能会与埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)展开正面竞争我们这是Bharti集团旗下的公司OneWeb以及亚马逊的柯伊伯计划(Project Kuiper)。
Starlink将于2022年初启动其商业互联网服务，OneWeb将于2022年年中在印度推出商业互联网服务。
根据政府的订单，Starlink最近开始向印度客户退还预购款。

<\/figure>State-owned Bharat Broadband Network Limited (BBNL<\/a>) may soon offer its satellite internet services in the north-east, Indian Express reported, citing a Department of Telecommunications<\/a> (DoT) official. BBNL, which is also implementing the BharatNet<\/a> project, has piloted its satellite-based internet services in hilly and remote areas of Arunachal Pradesh.
Further details regarding a commercial rollout as well as the tariffs of services will be drawn up after the project is piloted in more states, the telecom department official told the publication.
<\/div><\/div>The costs are expected to be \u201creasonable\u201d, and a shortage of revenue for the implementing agencies, whether government or private, will be plugged through the Rs 60,000-crore Universal Service Obligation Fund<\/a> or USOF<\/a>, he said.
The report added that BBNL is proposing to offer satellite-based internet to 7,000 gram panchayats and sites that are remote and inaccessible, or where deploying fiber is not feasible. About 4,000 GPs have already been commissioned across the country.
These 7,000 sites will be covered by four satellite gateways with two high throughput (HTS<\/a>) satellites under the BharatNet project.
BBNL\u2019s broadband-from-space offering may compete head-to-head against Elon Musk\u2019s Starlink<\/a>, Bharti Group\u2019s OneWeb<\/a>, and Amazon\u2019s Project Kuiper.
Starlink will power up its commercial internet services in early-2022 while OneWeb will launch its commercial internet services in India by mid-2022.
Following an order from the government, Starlink recently started refunding pre-order money to customers in India.
