That is good news. Hopefully with the growth in subscribers, it doesn't affect the customer service and network quality.
 
I am waiting for them to start operations here in chennai.
But it'll be very hard for them to penetrate here as the city is controlled by cable mafia.
 
In Chennai, they have better chance if they deploy their own infrastructure.
As cable operators have TCCL which like a consortium of operators which itself is a MSO and runs a fiber internet service named ticfiber.
So it'll be very hard to convince the LCOs to switch.
 
If Excitel gets big enough, will they deploy their own domestic and international routes like Jio or Airtel?
 
Getting stakes on international cables and landing stations are not cheap.
They're better of peering to almost every major player domestically and getting transit for international bandwidth.
For player like Excitel they would serve 70-80% traffic through domestic peering from CDNs and major players like Netflix,Amazon,Google,Facebook etc.
