Reliance Jio will offer a Set Top Box for TV when it launches ultra-high speed fibre-based broadband services -- an offering that is expected to compete with DTH operators like Tata Sky. Market watchers have said this would pose as a "serious competition" to TV distributors on both the DTH and cable side, putting further pressure on falling average revenue per user.
Yesterday, while announcing its fibre-based broadband plans, Jio unveiled the 'Jio Giga router', that will power ultra-fast internet connection and offer wall to wall high-speed wifi coverage.
The second device 'Jio GigaTV' set-top box, when connected to large screen TV, will enable subscribers to watch over 600 TV channels, thousands of movies and millions of songs and other content, at any time
