\n New Delhi, Dec 13 () Modern satellite<\/a> technologies are likely to make broadband services more affordable, Telecom<\/a> Minister Manoj Sinha<\/a> said today.<\/p>\n \n\tThe government has therefore made a provision for using satellite services for providing broadband connections under the second phase of the Bharat Net project, he added.<\/p>\n \"New satellite innovations...are likely to make broadband more affordable, available and accessible to public agencies, industries and individuals,\" Sinha said at an event organised by the Broadband India Forum<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tHe said that realising the importance of satellite communications (satcom), the government has included it in the second phase of the national broadband network project Bharat Net, which seeks to provide broadband infrastructure to rural and remote areas.<\/p>\n \n\t\"While optical fibre and mobile broadband are the preferred technologies for the backbone of broadband penetration, it is also clear that unlike in the case of mobile, 100 per cent broadband penetration would not be possible unless we use other technologies like wi-fi, cable broadband and Satcom in particular,\" Sinha said.<\/p>\n \n\tHe said the government introduced the space policy in 1997 and its guidelines came in 2000.<\/p>\n \n\t\"Despite... more than 17 years, we have seen very little private sector participation in the sector, particularly in the supply side.<\/p>\n \n\t\"While there are legitimate security concerns, we believe these can be overcome by a number of measures that are required to be taken in the ease of doing business and also by liberalised implementation of the existing policy itself,\" Sinha said.<\/p>\n \n\tHe said time is now ripe to take a fresh approach to actively involve private sector in the satcom segment.<\/p>\n \n\tTelecom Secretary Aruna Sundararajan said that lot of satellite companies have expressed interest in providing services in India, specially to consumers during air travel and some of the companies have also expressed in making their satcom products in the country.<\/p>\n \n\t\"Government is committed to ensuring that commercial satellite operations are not hindered. They are indeed encouraged and promoted for reaching the unreached,\" she said, adding the Department of Telecom will take up policy issues related to satcom with the Department of Space. \n\tBroadband India Forum (BIF) President T V Ramachandran said satellite communication in India currently is at the same level where mobile communications were in 1994 -- almost negligible.<\/p>\n \"International satellite capacity is getting wasted. Security is not a big issue because ISRO<\/a> is already buying bandwidth from foreign satellites. Unless we have competition, we won't be able to get affordability,\" Ramachandran said.<\/p>\n \n\tBIF urged the government to allow companies to directly negotiate with global satellite companies.<\/p>\nThe companies at present are required to go through ISRO for procurement of bandwidth and they are required to pay similar amount irrespective of the amount of bandwidth they buy, Ramachandran said.

路透新德里12月13()现代卫星技术可能会使宽带服务更负担得起的,电信部长Manoj Sinha今天说。 政府因此提供了使用卫星电视服务提供宽带连接在巴拉特网项目的第二阶段,他补充说。 “新卫星创新…可能会使宽带更负担得起的,可用和可访问公共机构、行业和个人,”Sinha组织的一次活动上表示:宽带印度论坛。 他说,实现卫星通信(satcom)的重要性,政府包括国家宽带网络项目第二阶段的巴拉特网,旨在为农村和偏远地区提供宽带基础设施。 “虽然光纤和移动宽带是首选的技术骨干的宽带普及率,同样清楚的是,不像在移动的情况下,宽带普及率100%不可能,除非我们使用其他技术如wi - fi、有线宽带和卫星通信特别是,”Sinha说。 他说,政府在1997年引入了空间政策和指南是在2000年。 “尽管…超过17年,我们已经看到很少的私人部门参与部门,特别是在供应方面。 ”虽然有合法的安全问题,我们认为这些是可以克服的,需要采取一系列措施缓解做生意的,也通过自由化实现现有政策本身,”Sinha说。 他说时间是现在成熟采取新的方法来积极在卫星通信领域涉及私营部门。 电信部长阿鲁娜Sundararajan说,许多卫星公司表示有兴趣在印度提供服务,特别在航空旅行和消费者的一些公司也表示在他们的卫星通信产品。 “政府致力于确保商业卫星操作不受阻。他们确实是鼓励和促进到达市场,”她说,并补充电信部门将卫星通信与部门相关政策问题的空间。 宽带印度论坛(BIF)总统T V拉马钱德兰表示,卫星通信在印度目前在同一水平移动通信1994年——几乎可以忽略不计。 “国际卫星能力越来越浪费。安全并不是一个大问题,因为ISRO已经从外国购买带宽卫星。除非我们有竞争,我们无法负担能力,”拉玛钱德朗说。 BIF敦促政府允许公司直接与全球卫星公司谈判。
