Reliance Jio, in its continuous endeavor to enhance Internet accessibility in India, is actively pursuing satellite-based broadband services. This initiative aims to extend high-speed internet connectivity and digital services to remote regions across the country.
To cater to the demand for vernacular language content in India, the latest smartphones now come equipped with built-in functionalities for various Indian languages. An example of this is the JioPhone 4G Pragati, which supports 10 different languages through its operating system.
A recent report titled ‘The e-Conomy of a Billion Connected Indians,’ jointly released by Google, Temasek, and Bain & Company, sheds light on an interesting statistic. According to the report, around 53 percent of individuals who do not currently use the internet would be inclined to go online if the content was available in their native languages. This highlights the importance of providing multilingual content to bridge the digital divide and enable more people to access online resources and services.
