Guys reliance has opted for a pan india MSO license. Its not IPTV or 4G (not via internet)
This is a pure digital cable tv service hence its a MSO.
Users need to buy a STB and connect the MSO cable to it to get channels just like how other digital cable MSO work in the country.

Apart from this yes they have also putting 4g fibre optic cables in which users can watch tv on tab, phone, pc via a internet.
