Premium JioFiber customers will be able to watch movies the same day they are released in theatres, as per RIL Chairman. The service will be launched in the middle of 2020.
With Jio fiber, a customer is promised to get a broadband speed up to 1 Gbps, landline phone connection, digital set-top box, UHD entertainment, interactive gaming, voice-enabled virtual assistants and many smart enabled solutions.
The absence of infrastructure is a major challenge for existing players in offering broadband fiber service to the larger user base. The major reasons are fiber being expensive and the presence of complicated digging and lay process of fiber across municipalities in the country.
As of March 2019, there are around 18.42 million wired broadband users in the country, as per Internet world stat.
Besides, Ambani further announced the availability of Jio’s Internet of Things (IoT) from the beginning of next year in India. The company aims to connect 1 billion homes via the IoT platform. Ambani outlined that the IoT segment offers a revenue opportunity of Rs 20K crore.
