\"OneWeb will be the world's first low earth orbit<\/a> (LEO) constellation flying about 648 satellites at 1,200 kms, covering every inch of the globe,\" Mittal said during a webinar on 'Unlocking India's potential in the Space sector'.
\"It is our deep desire along with support and cooperation from Isro<\/a> (Indian Space Research Organisation), we get our landing rights, putting up ground stations across the country and start delivering the services by early 2022, once the constellation is complete,\" he added.
In July, Bharti, which owns India's second largest mobile operator, joined hands with the UK government to acquire OneWeb, a satellite company backed by Japan's SoftBank that had gone bankrupt earlier this year.
The Bharti-led consortium will capitalise and operationalise the firm to offer internet services across the world.
OneWeb expects to do its first trials later next year in Europe, Mittal said.
Fibre connectivity or terrestrial radio connectivity to some parts of India are particularly challenging, especially in parts of Andaman & Nicobar islands, deserts of Rajasthan and forests in Madhya Pradesh. Satellite connectivity could, therefore, be helpful in delivering broadband internet access, he said.
In June, the government opened up the space sector, allowing private companies and startups to build satellites, launch them on their own rockets and offer applications to users, both in India and abroad.
It also mandated Isro to shift its operational satellites and rockets to a new entity, New Space India Ltd (NSIL).
The government also announced a regulatory body, Indian Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre or IN-SPACe, to ensure a level playing field for startups and the private sector.
During the webinar, Uma Maheshwaran, scientific secretary to Isro, said the Space Activities Bill is in the final stages and will soon be put up before the Cabinet for approval before it is placed in Parliament.
The much-awaited legislation will provide a framework for the risks, liabilities and regulation of India's space initiatives.
\"For now, the industry<\/a> can go ahead and start working with IN-SPACe to start their activity, but ultimately when the time comes for them to launch vehicles or when they are ready with satellites, the risks and liabilities and regulation must be ready. And, by that time, we will have the Act in place,\" he said.
Mittal called for a regulation that allows better private sector participation in India's space programme.
\"My submission is that we should build a light touch policy, but very strong in terms of security of our nation and (strong in terms of) foreign policy. Some of these guidelines need to be laid out very clearly so the private sector participants know how we can operate in the overall policy framework,\" he said.
Isro chairman K Sivan denied speculation that the space agency was being privatised.
\"That is a misconception. Activities of Isro will be able to better utilise its resources in taking up capacity building and developmental activities,\" he said.

在印度Bharti的高速互联网从OneWeb卫星到2022年;公司要求轻触空间政策
Bharti集团预计将在2022年初发射高速卫星互联网服务在印度使用OneWeb卫星星座和寻求帮助从印度宇航局建立负担得起的访问终端部署在全国各地,主席苏尼尔•巴帝•米塔尔周四表示。

“OneWeb将成为世界第一低地球轨道(狮子座)星座卫星飞行约648 1200公里,覆盖地球的每一寸,”米塔尔在研讨会上打开印度的潜力在空间领域的。
“我们从深层欲望的支持和合作Isro(印度空间研究组织),我们得到我们的着陆权,把全国的地面站和在2022年初开始提供服务,一旦完成星座,”他补充道。
7月,Bharti拥有印度第二大移动运营商,与英国政府获得OneWeb,卫星公司由日本软银,今年早些时候已经破产。
Bharti-led财团将利用和operationalise公司提供互联网服务世界各地。
OneWeb预计明年晚些时候在欧洲首次试验,米塔尔说。
纤维连接或地面无线电连接印度的一些地区是特别具有挑战性的,尤其是在安达曼和尼科巴群岛部分地区,沙漠在中央邦拉贾斯坦邦和森林。卫星连接,因此,在提供宽带上网是有益的,他说。
今年6月,政府开放空间领域,允许私营企业和创业公司建立卫星,发射他们自己的火箭和为用户提供应用程序,在印度和国外。
它还规定Isro转变其经营卫星和火箭一个新的实体,新的空间印度有限公司(NSIL)。
印度政府还宣布了一个监管机构,促销和授权中心或太空空间,以确保一个公平的竞争环境对创业公司和私营部门。
在研讨会期间,乌玛Maheshwaran,科学部长Isro表示,太空活动法案进入最后阶段,很快就会把之前的内阁批准前放置在议会。
期待已久的法案将提供一个框架的风险,责任和监管的印度的太空计划。
“目前,行业可以开始使用太空开始他们的活动,但最终他们运载火箭的时候或当他们准备卫星,风险和责任和监管必须准备好。到那时,我们将采取行动,”他说。
米塔尔呼吁监管,允许更好的私营部门参与到印度的太空计划。
“我的提交是我们应该建立一个轻触的政策,但非常强大我们的国家安全以及(强烈的)外交政策。这些指导方针需要制定非常清楚所以私营部门参与者知道如何操作在整个政策框架,”他说。
Isro主席K息汪月否认猜测航天局被私有化。
“这是一种误解。Isro活动能够更好地利用其资源占用能力建设和发展活动,”他说。
