Satellite communication not a threat to telcos, says Bharti Airtel managing director Gopal Vittal

Bharti Airtel Managing Director Gopal Vittal stated that satellite communication, or satcom, is not a threat to telecom operators, as the services will be complementary, and pricing will remain at a premium to mobile. Vittal sees satellite services as an opportunity, especially for distributing services to remote locations, such as ships or airlines.
