Reliance Jio earlier this month announced that the Jio GigaFiber and Jio GigaTV will be rolled out to the localities with the most number of registrations. August 15 will be the date when the registration will begin for Jio GigaFiber, Jio GigaTV. Mukesh Ambani at the RIL AGM last month had reportedly said that the Jio GigaFiber service will deliver download speeds of up to 1Gbps to users. However, the service will not be a pan-India initiative but will be rolled out in 1,100 cities only.
