US Satellite Launch By ISRO May Make Phone Calls Directly Via Space A Reality

India is all set to launch a massive American communications satellite that would allow making phone calls using direct connectivity from space. This is a highly innovative and a more modern approach to satellite telephony than the existing services.

The article from NDTV discusses a significant advancement in satellite technology where ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) is set to launch a satellite for OneWeb, a UK-based company, aiming to provide global broadband internet coverage.
