It is for such regions, including the large exclusive economic zone of India along its coastlines, that high-speed affordable satellite connectivity becomes imperative. So why hasn’t India gone ahead and developed such a system, given the prowess that India possesses in space technologies? There are many reasons for India not setting up such a solution, including the fact that some of the technologies still need to be developed to make this possible. But then again, these are not really a roadblock as India can develop these technologies, especially when it is for providing connectivity to all, that is critical for the development of India, and as the Wuhan Virus pandemic has shown, access to basic health and education is also dependent on connectivity. So, we come back to the question as to why India has not developed such a system for high bandwidth satellite connectivity?
