SpaceX星链公司的印度负责人与其他太空公司签订了协议
在与媒体的首次独家互动中，巴尔加瓦告诉《印度经济时报》，在与马斯克长达一小时的会面后，他的直接任务是与印度顶级电信公司、银行、医院、学术机构和非政府组织的首席执行官进行接触，签署潜在的合作协议，以促进农村宽带连接。
加尔各答:科技亿万富翁SpaceX公司创始人Elon Musk认为卫星和移动宽带运营商“必须合作，而不是相互竞争”，以确保印度100%的宽带覆盖，提高人们的生活质量，桑杰Bhargava他是SpaceX新任命的印度业务负责人我们操作,说。
在他第一次与媒体的独家互动中，Bhargava告诉《印度经济时报》，在与马斯克长达一小时的会议后，他的直接任务是与印度顶级电信公司、银行、医院、学术机构和非政府组织的首席执行官进行接触，以签署潜在的合作协议，以促进印度的发展农村宽带连接．
巴尔加瓦说:“他(埃隆·马斯克)的愿景非常明确，所有宽带服务提供商，无论是通过卫星还是移动网络，都必须相互合作，而不是竞争，才能将高速宽带带到服务不足的地区，并改变印度和世界各地人民的生活……更重要的是，因为这两种技术完全不同。”
他的评论呼应了苏尼尔的观点Bharti米塔尔竞争对手的董事长卫星通信该公司还表示，其太空宽带服务将与电信公司合作，通过企业对企业的模式，而不是移动电话公司的企业对消费者模式，在遥远的地区提供高速互联网服务。
巴尔加瓦说，在印度的目标是“也利用卫星宽带(技术)进行颠覆性创新”行业垂直的线。“这可能是我即将与顶级电信公司、银行、医疗保健部门和教育机构负责人讨论的重点。”
巴尔加瓦于10月1日开始负责SpaceX在印度的卫星宽带业务，担任Starlink的国家总监，此前他曾与马斯克合作，作为创建电子支付公司PayPal的全球团队的一员。
他发表上述言论之际，bharti支持的OneWeb、SpaceX、亚马逊和塔塔- telesat联合公司正准备利用各自的近地轨道(LEO)卫星星座，进入印度相对新生的快速太空宽带领域。印度被视为一个重要的新兴卫星互联网市场，每年有超过10亿美元的收入机会。这是因为近75%的印度农村地区仍然没有宽带接入，因为许多地方没有蜂窝或光纤连接。近地轨道卫星系统被视为一种可行的替代方案。
Bhargava最近在领英的一篇文章中表示，SpaceX将重点关注运往印度的80%终端的10个农村Lok Sabha选区，该公司在印度的Starlink卫星宽带服务的目标是在2022年12月前接触20万个活跃终端，前提是得到监管机构的批准。
SpaceX印度全资子公司不久将寻求政府批准，明年在印度推出卫星宽带服务。不过，该公司尚未决定只申请GMPCS(全球移动个人卫星通信服务)牌照，还是像bharti支持的OneWeb那样，同时申请NLD(全国长途)和GMPCS牌照，以提供卫星宽带服务。
然而，Bhargava拒绝就电信公司希望政府拍卖用于5G移动宽带服务的28 GHz毫米波频段(目前由卫星通信播放器使用)发表评论。
他还拒绝就这家美国航空航天公司在印度本土制造卫星设备的计划置评。
不过，一位业内人士表示，如果印度国内需求强劲，且数量充足，SpaceX可能会对在印度本土生产卫星天线/终端持开放态度，在这种情况下，它可以在印度本土生产此类设备，面向国内和出口市场。
今年7月，SpaceX的一名高管在与印度电信部(DoT)的一次会议上表示，马斯克领导的公司热衷于与印度公司合作，在当地生产卫星通信设备，包括天线系统和用户终端设备，因为该公司一直在寻找最大化其全球供应链效率的方法。

卫星通信:星链印度负责人表示，计划在2022年12月之前激活20万个终端;等待飞行员点头
在印度新兴的太空宽带市场上，Starlink将与Bharti global支持的OneWeb和亚马逊自己的卫星通信服务等展开竞争。

Kolkata: Tech billionaire and SpaceX<\/a> founder Elon Musk<\/a> believes satellite and mobile broadband operators \u201cmust collaborate and not compete with one another\u201d to ensure 100% broadband coverage in India and improve the quality of peoples\u2019 lives, Sanjay Bhargava<\/a>, the newly appointed India head of SpaceX\u2019s Starlink<\/a> operation, said.
In his first exclusive interaction with media, Bhargava told ET that his immediate mandate, following an hour-long meeting with Musk, is to engage with CEOs of India\u2019s top telcos, banks, hospitals, academic institutions and non-governmental organisations (NGO) to ink potential collaboration pacts to boost rural broadband connectivity<\/a>.
\u201cHe\u2019s (Elon Musk) very clear in his vision that broadband service providers of all shades, be it via satellites or mobile networks, have to collaborate with one another, and not compete, to take high-speed broadband to the under-served, and transform peoples\u2019 lives in India and around the world\u2026more so, since the two technologies are totally different,\u201d Bhargava said.

<\/div><\/div>His comments echo those of Sunil Bharti Mittal<\/a>, chairman of rival satcom<\/a> company OneWeb - backed by Bharti Global and the UK government - who has also said that its broadband-from-space services will work with telcos to offer high-speed internet services in far flung areas through a business-to-business model, and not a business-to-consumer model of mobile phone companies.
The objective in India, Bhargava said, is \u201cto also use satellite broadband (technologies) for disruptive innovations\u201d across diverse industry<\/a> verticals. \u201cThis is likely to be the thrust of my upcoming discussions with heads of top telcos, banks, healthcare units, educational institutions.\u201d
Bhargava, who took charge of SpaceX\u2019s satellite broadband operation in India on October 1 as Starlink\u2019s country director, had previously worked with Musk as part of a global team that founded electronic payment firm, PayPal.
His comments come at a time when Bharti-backed OneWeb, SpaceX, Amazon and the Tata-Telesat combine are readying to enter India\u2019s relatively nascent fast broadband-from-space segment, leveraging their respective low\u2013earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations. India is seen as a key emerging satellite internet market with an over $1 billion annual revenue opportunity. This is because almost 75% of rural India still does not have access to broadband as many locations are without cellular or fibre connectivity. The LEO satellite systems are seen as a viable alternative.

<\/div><\/div>Bhargava had recently said in a LinkedIn post that SpaceX will focus on 10 rural Lok Sabha constituencies for 80% of the terminals shipped to India, and that the company\u2019s Starlink satellite broadband services in the country is aiming to touch 200,000 active terminals by December 2022, subject to regulatory approvals.
A wholly-owned SpaceX India arm will shortly seek government approvals to launch satellite broadband services in India next year. The company, though, is yet to take a call on going for only a GMPCS (global mobile personal communications by satellite services) licence or a combination of NLD (national long distance) and GMPCS licences, like Bharti-backed OneWeb, to deliver satellite broadband services.
