Inmarsat, the global satellite operator is looking at India to offer commercially high-speed internet services on mobile phones allowing users to stream videos flying on a plane or driving on highways, once its next generation satellite is launched in two years.
Inmarsat has a fleet of four Global Xpress (GX) satellites - that have Ka band transponders with the ability to beam high-speed broadband on mobiles, currently, the only operational fleet in the world.
A fifth one, to be launched in 2019 will cover India, a market as its chief executive Rupert Pearce says is an "important long term opportunity".
