Connectivity challenges in India are mainly due to poor execution in infrastructure development. Fixed broadband penetration remains structurally low despite clear and growing demand, constrained by centralized deployment models that prioritize ROI efficiency over broad-based access. As AI-driven services push internet usage toward persistent, high-reliability workloads, the limitation of mobile-first connectivity will become increasingly apparent. This creates a widening gap between demand and delivery that centralized telecom models have struggled to close, particularly outside economically prioritized urban cores. Dabba represents a fundamentally different approach to scaling broadband infrastructure. By decentralizing last-mile execution through Local Cable Operators, aligning incentives around service quality and coverage, and operating within India’s existing regulatory rails, the network has demonstrated that fixed broadband can scale faster, more efficiently, and more inclusively. Its year-end 2025 metrics show real product-market fit, with rapid growth across deployments, users, revenue, and operator participation, all driven by repeatable execution rather. As India’s data demands intensify, Dabba is positioned not as a replacement for national telecom infrastructure but as a complementary execution layer capable of extending reliable broadband to millions of users who remain underserved by centralized rollouts.
