London, <keyword id="19994374" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bharti" source="keywords">Bharti</keyword> Enterprises Founder and Chairman <keyword id="20035984" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sunil-bharti-mittal" source="keywords">Sunil Bharti Mittal</keyword> on Wednesday became the first Indian citizen to be conferred an honorary <keyword id="20763363" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="knighthood" source="keywords">Knighthood</keyword> by Britain's King Charles III "for services to UK and India business relations". In a list of honorary British awards unveiled by the UK Cabinet Office, <keyword id="20134935" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mittal" source="keywords">Mittal</keyword> receives a KBE under the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire - one of the highest honours conferred by a British monarch. The 66-year-old entrepreneur said in a statement that he was "deeply humbled" by the gracious recognition from King Charles. "The UK and India have historical relations, which are now entering a new era of increased cooperation and collaboration. I remain committed to working towards strengthening the economic and bilateral trade relationships between our two great nations," Mittal said. "I am thankful to the government of the UK, whose support and keen attention to the needs of business has been critical in making the country an attractive investment destination," he said. The KBE, conferred for a pre-eminent contribution in any field of activity, is awarded in an honorary capacity to foreign nationals. While the Knighthood conferred on UK nationals gives them the title of Sir or Dame, non-UK nationals awarded the honour add KBE (or DBE for women) after their name. Previous Indian recipients of the Honorary KBE include Ratan Tata (2009), Ravi <keyword id="20006262" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shankar" source="keywords">Shankar</keyword> (2001) and Jamshed Irani (1997), conferred by the late Queen Elizabeth II. The investiture ceremony will be conducted by the British High Commissioner to India at a later date, when he will formally hand over the royal insignia to Mittal. The honour recognises Bharti Enterprises' work within the India-UK space, including with the UK government in the field of satellites. Sunil Bharti Mittal led the revival of OneWeb (now Eutelsat), leading a consortium with the UK government and other strategic investors to offer satellite broadband services globally, a company statement notes. Mittal has a strong connection with the UK, as a member of the India-UK CEO Forum and has previously been awarded the Honorary Doctor of Civil Law from Newcastle University and an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Leeds. He is also a member of the Vice Chancellor's Circle of Advisors at the University of Cambridge. Additionally, Sunil Bharti Mittal has served on the Governing Body of the London Business School (LBS) and as a Member of the India Advisory Group at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). In 2019, Bharti's Airtel Africa was listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE100 Index.

Mittal credited this achievement to the successful collaboration with ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation), stating, "With your intervention, we were able to get two rockets GSLV Mk 3 from ISRO to launch 72 satellites last year." He went on to unveil the ground-breaking OneWeb constellation, in which Bharti holds the largest stake, now poised to serve both the nation and the entire world. Starting next month, India will witness an unprecedented era of connectivity, as Mittal proudly announced, "Anybody anywhere in the country, however remote or far or in difficult areas, can be connected from our Satellite ground station that has been set up in Mehsana, Gujarat." This technological advancement in satellite communication promises to bridge the digital divide in India, connecting even the most isolated regions, fostering development, and transforming the way the nation communicates. Mittal's announcement marks a pivotal moment for India's technological landscape, opening up a world of possibilities for connectivity, communication, and progress. The Chairman of Bharti Enterprises also spoke about how India's digital infrastructure can accelerate the World economy. "Two pillars are very important for IMC 2023...First was Digital India...You raised the slogan of JAM Trinity which was based on Jan Dhan, Aadhar and Mobile is being discussed across the world. Whether it is the World Bank, UN, WTO, African Union, European Nation, G20, OECD Countries, or BRICS, there is only one slogan, the Digital Infrastructure that India has built can accelerate the world economy, especially in those countries which have a lack of infrastructure...The second most important one is Make in India" Sunil Bharti Mittal said. The India Mobile Congress serves as a platform to showcase India's technological advancements and innovations while facilitating discussions on the nation's digital future.

Everyone knows what happened during the 2G (referring to the spectrum allocation scam during the UPA regime). During our government, 4G was expanded but there was no stain on us. I am confident that India will lead the world in 6G technology," he said. The Prime Minister added that whether it is telecom, technology, or connectivity or whether it is 6G, AI, cybersecurity, semiconductors, drones or space sector, the future is going to be very different. "Within a year of the launch of 5G, nearly four lakh 5G base stations have been working today. They are covering 97% of the cities and more than 80% of the population," Modi said.

He said Airtel has put all matters concerning the unfair practice of Jio in the TDSAT including issues regarding <keyword id="6356988" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="TRAI">TRAI</keyword>.

Mittal said Jio's entry in the market has impacted both revenues and margins of telecom players however Airtel is not as impacted by the entry of other players.

Sunil Bharti Mittal calls Reliance Jio unfair competition

"4G coverage in India will become bigger than 2G in the next 12 months..," Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh's words envisaged the need of collectively using new technology and data revolution to tap the potential of human capital which India possesses. "In last one year, India became the largest data consuming country from 155th in mobile broadband penetration. The pace at which India has grown is unparalleled in the world," said Ambani, as he delivered his address at the inaugural <keyword id="4293052" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="india-mobile-congress">India Mobile Congress</keyword> earlier today. "We must tap into the potential of technologies like IOT (Internet of Thing) for job creation," he said. Ambani estimated that in the next ten years the Indian economy will grow to USD 7 trillion from current USD 2.5 trillion and rank among top three economies in the world. Leaders at the event echoed that India has the opportunity to lead the fourth industrial revolution, which will usher more dramatic changes than the first three industrial revolution. Ambani stated three must-do tasks for government and industry - "One, we must explore and implement innovative ideas for employment and income generation abilities. We must foster confidence in the society that new technologies—robotics, cloud computing, Internet of Things the blockchain, nanotechnology, 3-D printing, etc.— are enablers of employment and wealth. We need to tap these technologies to generate jobs,” he said. "Second, digital technology can be a boon for achieving national priorities such as water security, energy security and resource security. India must embark on the task of connecting everything and everyone with the Internet of Things," he said. The Third, Ambani said, is that the nation’s human capital is India's greatest asset. "Therefore, digitisation of education, skill training and human resource development in a comprehensive manner is vital to the success of Digital India. Telecom industry will have to be part of this mission." Led by the Department of Telecommunication, the India Mobile Congress is organised by Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), the industry association of mobile and telecom operators and internet companies. The country is hosting the India Mobile Congress for the first time which would provide a platform for mobile, Internet and technology companies. Earlier on Tuesday, Telecom minister <keyword id="6357016" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="manoj-sinha">Manoj Sinha</keyword> on said the Department of Telecom will organise the event every year which would emerge as a global event in coming years.

What Mukesh Ambani said from the grand stage of India Mobile Congress today

The telecom ministry is planning to hold another <keyword id="67427" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="spectrum-sale">spectrum sale</keyword>, for both the pending spectrum from the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/India-biggest-spectrum-auction-what-can-consumer-expect/articleshow/54629274.cms">last sale</a> and the higher frequency bands. Telecommunications secretary <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Telecom-Secretary-JS-Deepak-says-the-upcoming-spectrum-auction-will-separate-men-from-boys-/articleshow/54406206.cms">JS Deepak</a> told <a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/spectrum-sale-likely-in-second-half-of-this-year-js-deepak/articleshow/57400555.cms">ET</a> that the auction would most likely happen in the second half of this year. 
 However, Bharti Airtel chairman <keyword id="6442632" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sunil-Bharti-Mittal">Sunil Bharti Mittal</keyword> had said that local telecom operators have a surplus of spectrum, and are in no need of buying more airwaves this year. He had also added that the government might not even hold an auction in the coming fiscal.

Deepak, on the other hand, said that Indian telecom companies now have sufficient opportunity to buy airwaves from each other or the government. 
 
During the Mobile World Congress, an event Deepak was a part of, global industry body <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Bharti-chief-Sunil-Mittal-new-chairman-of-GSMA/articleshow/55094268.cms">GSMA</a> termed India a lighthouse and said that Indian reforms and ease of business policies could be emulated by other nations. 
 
Deepak, in his address, went on to compare the annual sale of bandwidth with the business at a supermarket. 
 
"If a supermarket doesn't sell all its goods in one day, it doesn't get a heart attack or high blood pressure. It will sell the next day, next week, next month,” he said. 
 
When talked about the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/4G-to-be-pass-soon-5G-is-just-round-the-corner-and-look-what-India-is-doing-to-be-an-early-adopter/articleshow/54952894.cms">5G technology</a>, he said that one can expect a policy on use of higher band spectrum (including 5G) in the next three to four months.

<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=airtel&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Airtel</a> and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=reliance+jio&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Reliance Jio</a> are tapping new business opportunities and have already started going aggressive. 
 
The two telecom players are now edging each other out in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=broadbands&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">broadband services</a>, where both <keyword id="15491" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Airtel">Airtel</keyword> and Reliance are banking on fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) network, commonly known as <keyword id="2994084" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="home-broadband">home broadband</keyword>. 
 
<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=sunil+bharti+mittal&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Sunil </a><a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=sunil+bharti+mittal&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Mittal</a>-driven Bharti Airtel is already delivering high-speed in-home broadband services through V-Fiber. On the flip side, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=mukesh+ambani&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Mukesh </a><a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=mukesh+ambani&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Ambani</a>-led <keyword id="6354504" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Reliance-Jio">Reliance Jio</keyword> has launched pilot services in Mumbai, Pune and Chennai in home broadband space. 
 
Airtel’s fibre tech is based on European standard Vectorisation technology, which can deliver speeds of up to 100 Mbps in a multi-device or Wi-Fi environment. Airtel is number one in this space and is extending its fixed-line broadband presence in tier-1 cities, ahead of Jio's rollout, with an unlimited three-month free trial offer to new customers. 
 
Whereas, Reliance Jio has now begun with FTTH network dubbed as GigaFiber broadband and is offering services free till March 31, with a 100 Mbps data speed in select residential areas of Chennai, Pune and Mumbai regions. 
 
Deployed by Chinese gear maker Huawei, Airtel has commercially launched V-Fiber-based broadband services in eight cities that include Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Indore and Bhopal. It has plans to launch it in Delhi-NCR soon. 
 
Rohan Dhamija, head for India and South Asia at Analysys Mason, told ET home broadband makes sense for service operators only in high average revenue per user (ARPU) clusters in large cities. 
 
"FTTH makes a business case for high ARPU geographical clusters such as highrise residential buildings, while in India, overhead cabling is also done to address the existing right-ofway (RoW) challenges to accelerate such deployments,” he told ET. 
 
India's home broadband penetration is significantly low with only about 18 million connections and both the top telcos, Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio, have stiff competition with local rivals such as Hathway, Spectranet, Tikona and Nextra Teleservices.

In a bid to counter Jio, Bharti Airtel is mulling to launch Airtel branded smartphones for only Rs 4,000 by October-November. 
 To capture the <keyword id="6493730" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="4G-services">4G services</keyword> market, Bharti Airtel is in advance stage to seal vendors.
