India MVNO Initiative - Device Players Going to Rock

As per the report published in new paper today, government received 80 request to get the license.
Under MVNO license one can buy the minutes and data from mobile service providers and resell it to end consumer under their brand name. 

Few years back Virgin Mobile attempted the same but failed miserably. 

In a current scenario, when wireless subscribers touched around billion and major chunk of users are still using feature phone will help potential MVNO players in big way.

Currently Device manufacturer are the center of attraction and offer bundled data to their buyer as value add. In that process mobile service provider acquire data user at much lower cost.

Entry of MVNO will help volume device manufacturer present both in feature phone and Smartphone to dominate the market.

The brands like Micromax, intex, lava, karbonn, Spice,  celkon will be the biggest gainer as they are very strong in  feature phone segment whereas some of the mentioned brands are also strong in Smartphone segment. 
The positioning of these brands will attract MVNO towards them for new user acquisition. 

The above brand may choose to ask for user acquisition cost which may run in $1 to $2 of additional revenue per user.This will be on top of their ongoing VAS revenue of around $1 to $5 depending upon the brand market share and reach ability.

These brands are very strong in rural sector when it comes to feature phone and now posses the potential of increasing their margin if all goes right with MVNO license allocation. The move is very good to get more penetration and help those to have mobility who is still deprived of that.

India 4G User Acquisition & Retention - Who is Suffering at the End

Reliance Jio entry into Indian Telecom sector started creating scenario wherein incumbent operators are at the spot.

Latest in the saga, Reliance Jio again approached TRAI and accused Airtel,Vodafone and Idea for blocking users who wants to port out of their existing service providers to Reliance Jio network.  The number involved in total is less than 200 and that shows Reliance Jio commitment towards their potential user.

At the same time, incumbent cannot let the user port out of the network till the guideline of the Mobile Number Portability set by TRAI.

Indian incumbent operators faced the music of MNP and how end user exploited it in 2012 to 2014 era  wherein user took the service of one operator with goodies and then ported out to another one post exhausting the goodies.

In 2012 to 2014 era challengers like Telenor  and others used MNP in their favor and acquire millions of user but unfortunately most of the user were low ARPU user.

It is surprising that based on the reports published in leading new paper not mentioned  Aircel, Reliance Communication and other which in my point bring me to a conclusion that Reliance Jio is only facing problems with three leading incumbent operator. It would be great to know about BSNL user requesting for porting out and it's status.

The real test of porting in and out using MNP will show its class post Reliance Jio start commercial service. Till Dec 31 st 2016 most of the Indian mobile users will try to misuse Reliance Jio service as it is free. I am also delighted that this time around Reliance Jio is so focused about consumer but at the end consumers are suffering. If any legitimate user trying to port out then they should not be used as dice to play competitive strategy. It's a common practice by operator to put across many clause as some of the end user through their past act forced incumbent operators to put across multiple clause related to exit.

For few, mass is suffering and both incumbent and Reliance Jio should solve it the way they did it with PoI

4G Era VAS Growth Potential in India - Mobile Service Provider's Vs. Smartphone Player's

The Indian VAS ecosystem witnessed turbulent time for the last 5 years post MVAS regulations. Indian regulatory body came out with MVAS regulation to protect Indian mobility user and imposed number of authentication and authorization process in order to kill unwarranted billing to end consumer.

The double consent mechanism implementation knocked down Mobile Operator VAS business and Mobile Operator witnessed de-growth in the segment. The entry of OTT players especially the messaging players killed flourishing SMS business which include P2P, A2P and P2A. The sudden move by regulatory body knocked out many VAS players from the market whereas some other segment like Music, gaming etc witnessed tough time retaining the consumer and generating revenue out of them. The revenue share model between Mobile Service Provider's and Content Provider's also made the business sustainability more difficult.

While the transition was happening during MVAS regulation implementation; India started witnessing adoption of Smartphone in Early 2012. It offered huge window of opportunity for the VAS player to acquire user through indirect channel. Many companies from content, music, gaming turned towards Smartphone players to acquire new user. Smartphone player's captured the opportunities with both hands and started selling their inventories in return of space asked by the VAS providers. Some of the Smartphone players even integrated FOTA solution from leading FOTA service providers in order to ensure that they can mint money through existing consumer base. The unprecedented growth in the startup segment in early 2013 made Smartphone player the darling of all.

The limited space in the device and limited leading Smartphone players made the situation worse when Smartphone player started asking for hefty price point to integrate any VAS services or applications without any commitment of user adoption, retention, usages etc.

Many startup companies poured in many million $ in order to get the userbase without any solid business case to retrieve the invested money and disappeared after some time.

In 4G era VAS it will be very interesting to see how the VAS ecosystem pans out between Mobile Service Providers and Smartphone Players. Smartphone players are coming out with higher RAM and ROM which can sustain heavy load and may offer good consumer experience provided consumer gets better network coverage.

At the same time, Many Mobile service provider started developing their own VAS ecosystem and went to market to acquire users like the other applications. The only differentiation what Mobile Service Provider implemented is the monetization part. Mobile Service provider now acts as VAS aggregators which can be delivered through the applications to consumer based on the consumer wish coupled with monetization mechanism. In my point of view, it will help Mobile Service Providers to offer both value add to end consumer as they can offer multiple option compared to Smartphone players.

The Mobile Service Providers are struggling with high cost of service and it is expected that they will be offering virtualized VAS ecosystem to end consumer and Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel successfully demonstrated that through their number of applications which they can sell while selling the SIM to end consumer.

On a contrary, Smartphone players also started focusing on developing their own VAS ecosystem instead of relying on others for small amount. Smartphone players also trying to develop recurring revenue model based VAS platform and some of the are even successful doing so.

Unfortunately, the low DAU, MAU, Revenue per user are pushing Applications providers to take another route of user acquisition model as Smartphone players dont know who will be buying the product, what are their liking and in that scenario, selling a device the preloaded applications will definitely yield bad result.

I think that Mobile Service Provider's will again take the centre stage and am confident that they will witness the revival of their VAS business in coming Quarters

Upcoming 4G Era of India -Low End Smartphone with 1GB RAM will dominate Indian Smartphone in Coming Future

Indian Smartphone segment is changing very dynamically both on the specifications and price point side. One Smartphone player is trying to throw the another. All developed  a perception that Indian Smartphone segment will witness double digit growth and that prompted many new player including Chinese as well as heavy weight Reliance Industry LYF device.

In the past two quarter, there is constant change in market share and example of the same is "LYF" Smartphone. Post the launch of Reliance Jio service, LYF brand launched 1GB RAM device as well as 512 MB RAM devices carrying a maximum price tag of around $55 to $65. It created a buzz in the market and most of the new 4G user registering with Reliance Jio buying low end user as the USP set by Reliance Jio attracting low earning group.

In order to match the set threshold, Zen Mobile Launched 512MB RAM device in just over INR 3000 whereas Karbonn Mobile is known for entry level Smartphone. At the same time, Intex is one of the popular brand in$80 to $100 range.

Given the trend, its my prediction that Indian Smartphone market will be dominated by 1GB RAM device which will not be sufficient to give good 4G user experience given multiple tradeoff.

Ultimately, it will also impact the adoption of VAS services and associated revenue around it. In 2014 - 2015, Smartphone player earning at an average of $2 per device from VAS which will not be the game given the quality of video and HD quality as it will consume higher processing power.

Vodafone India Embarked $3 Bn - Bad News for Reliance Jio

Vodafone India was on the verge of filing for IPO to recover its investment as well as to reduce mounting debt. Reliance Jio service launched shattered their plan as Vodafone clearly understand the impact of Jio tariff plan on their potential IPO offer price. There are lots of apprehension in the market place about incumbent like Airtel,Vodafone or Ideacellular to ward off Reliance Jio competition.

Recently Airtel announced that they will invest around $9Bn to upgrade their network and Idea Cellular will definitely get the support from the promoters in the form of equity infusion or loan to go full fledged against Reliance Jio with aggressive price point.

As per the news reports Reliance Jio initiated call drops are on the rise as incumbent has to provide more PoI and that will take few weeks to be in place. Its universal truth that Reliance group of companies most of the time use their petro finance to suppress competitor and sometime throw them out of the market.

In case of Indian Telecom market place, Reliance Jio is going to face stiff competition from incumbent operator the way new entrant faced in 2012-2013 time frame. By embarking $3Bn fund Vodafone sent out clear signal to industry player that they will be very aggressive in acquiring required spectrum to cover all 4G circle. We should not forget that Vodafone Plc the parent of Vodafone India is pioneer in 4G network know how and time to time support Indian operation.

It is also expected that once the concurrent userbase increases on Reliance Jio network then their partner from ccc will face music to cater the traffic and there might be problem in scenario 1 when the content hosted at partners end. On the other side, if content is hosted at Reliance Jio data center then it will be incremental streaming cost for Reliance Jio

The intention of Vodafone India is very straight and clear that Reliance Jio should struggle with one or another problem till the time Reliance Jio launches their service commercially. All are expecting that post commercial launch Churn rate at Reliance Jio will be maximum given their past experience.

At one end Reliance Jio is also raising 15K  Crore whereas the competitors like Airtel and Vodafone is also showing their financial muscle and it will be interesting game moving forward but will dent Reliance Jio more than anyone else.

Chinese and LYF Brand Impact - Micromax Mobile Business Head Ajay Sharma Quit

The trouble within Micromax is not going. The turbulent time started few months back when the High Profile Ex-CO of Bharti Airtel Sanjay Kapoor was forced to move out of the company Chairmanship followed by Vineet Taneja as CEO. The promoter of the company Mr.Rahul Sharma retook the charge and started pulling back his old team and Ajay was part of that move.

Unfortunately, Ajay resigned nine months post rejoining Micromax and all credits goes to dwindling sales of Micromax devices. Micromax is continuously losing market share aggressive Chinese player like Oppo, Vivo, Gionee, Oneplus, Xiaomi and  Indian Brand like LYF

In my point of view it is not far when LYF brand will be number 2 Smartphone player in India and gain credit goes to Reliance Jio utmost wish to dominate the market and entering into it without showing the true intention of business. They quickly captured the market and took everyone offguarded. While everyone were busy in developing Smartphone which can run on Reliance Jio network; LYF brand sweep the market and shocked the players like Micromax, Intex etc.

The month over month fall must be the reason for Ajay fallout with Micromax. 

Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel Signed PoI Agreement - Good for Industry

In a major deadlock between Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, today both the organization signed bilateral agreement which will pave the way for Bharti Airtel to offer hundred of PoI to Reliance Jio. As per the reports, financial aspects are not released but it is evident that Reliance Jio must be offering higher price point for the termination on Airtel Network or Reliance Jio must have given other commitment to share their infrastructure.

The speed of discussion and conclusion of agreement indicate that both the parties realized to take a path of reconciliation instead of conflicting with each other. It will also help Reliance Jio to get the deal done with other incumbent operators.

Is a good news for Reliance Jio user and their user experience and at the same time Incumbent Operator put across their concern on the table. Airtel also realized that post the commercial launch from 1st Jan 2017, the Call volume terminating on their network will go down dramatically as Indian user are very good in using free service to the maximum level.

It will be very interesting now to see the battle of acquiring new user as well as retaining the userbase. I expect that in next two to three weeks Reliance Jio will experience drastic fall in call drop whereas Incumbent will get time to recalibrate their marketing strategy to attract new user or retain existing user.

At the end, it's a win for Indian mobility user.

Reliance & Aircel Potential Merger - Opportunity For Airtel, Vodafone and Ideacellular

For the last 6 months, there is buzz in the market place that Reliance Communications and Aircel is joining hand to fight with big players as well as face Reliance Jio Onslaught collectively. Both the organization is reeling under huge debt and constantly losing market share. The fund constraints also put them in tight spot to innovate new products in  order to differentiate themselves.

As per the industry news, both the organization will own 50% each and company will have thousands of Crores of loans on their books. If the merger goes through then there will be major realignment will happen in both the organization and biggest loser will be employees of both the organization.

On the market competition side, both the organization is very confident that they will be better placed to ward off any competition including Reliance Jio and will gain market share. They are also claiming that their revenue market share will grow from the current level of around 12%.

In my point of view, Reliance Communications failed to increase their wireless business for the last 3 to 4 years with stagnated revenue but their debt level went beyond their control. Reliance Communications is also well known for their poor customer care.

Most of the partner working with Reliance Communications also face issues in integration due to legacy network and innovation is completely missing. The recent move by Reliance Communications to force millions of user to port on to 4G dented their image.

If the merger goes through then there will be distraction within management level of both the organizations as both the parties will be busy in realignment of business, product line, regulatory etc and that will open an opportunity of window for incumbent operators like Airtel, Vodafone and Ideacellular .

Reliance and Aircel on collective basis is having more than 60 million data user as well as around 7 to 8 Millions of prepaid userbase.

I also would like to point out that many user still remember the very poor service offered by Reliance when Mr.Mukesh Ambani launched telecom service with number of complaint on billing side and that is the reason that i have not considered Reliance Jio in the race.

All of us are talking about Reliance Jio impact on Airtel or Vodafone or IdeaCellular but missed to identify the opportunity lying in front of them. Read More

TCS Profit Warning - Indicating all is Not Well in IT Sector

Recently TCS came out the profit warning and sent out shock waves across investor community. TCS is known for meeting profit forecast or beating it. Even though TCS tried to deflect the severity of the situation by pointing out that one or two sectors are performing below expectations.

We all should know that multi billion $ IT contract is under renewal which Indian IT companies are managing or developing. The competitor landscape changed completely in the 5 years and it is expected that clients will go for renegotiation on servicing price point.

Recently Infosys shocked the market with an announcement that they lost one of the contract worth $200 MN. We as an investor should be ready to digest more negative news from IT companies.Needless to say that the change in market dynamic and continuous pressure on TCS Profit margin is going to led slow resource hiring or recalibration of existing resources or layoff. It will be having cascading impact on smaller IT companies. At the same time Startup ecosystem is also facing funding issue and layoff is on the rise. 

In my point of view, Indian IT giant should transform their business and should be more focused to come out with their own products. The resources associated with these IT giants are superb in potentials and managed many complex project. If IT giant decide to come out with sector specific product line then only they will be able to sustain their growth. Sitting on multi billion $ cash, I don't think that they need to raise money to develop product. 

Recent announcement is just the warning bell and still it's not late for IT giant to change their strategy to become product, platform company

Unmatched Foreign Policy and Strategy Led by Honorable Narendra Modi

Post Honorable Narendra Modi took India Prime Minister charge, many analyst were very skeptical about his foreign policy. Most of them came out very openly and suggested that he is going to fail given his outreach mechanism of visiting as many as countries possible. The opposition parties also questioned the cost involved to it.

During the foreign visit, Mr. Prime Minister played first dice by meeting NRI's in townhall as shared his thought. He successfully demonstrated that he is with them and with Indian people and trying hard to fix the problem attached with social India especially in the social sector.

During visits, he realized that all countries want to come to India post his meeting with business Tycoon of respective countries and he came out with " Make In India" initiative with a clause of local investment too including in the social sector. Which brought many companies from respective countries to India and he asked his office that no red tape should be faced by the incoming companies.

He strategically opened Defence sector with FDI and that brought many companies knocking on India door. The Defence sector in all countries are the biggest lobbyist and that brought US to come closer to India. The recent South China Flash point brought Japan, South Korea ,and US closer to India as they felt that India can be an ally in the region. At the same time terrorist attacks in Europe union countries gave him the opportunity to attract all of them in his kitty.

The recent offers from US on themilitary collaborations, Russia closeness with India, France unconditional support to India . The recent military drill with US is a testimony of growing confidence on India and especially post G20 which concluded recently, India is now the central talking point and main driver against unwarranted element.

I would like to congratulated Honorable Mr. Narendra Modi to take India as Central attraction point worldwide. Read More

SnapDeal 200 Crore Facelift - Too Little - Too Late

Amazon for the last six month showed their calibrated onslaught on Indian e-Commerce startup with open wallet and changed the dynamics of Indian E-Commerce segment. The downturn in funding to e-Commerce companies and valuation marked down by many investor led investor confidence loss on the  business model of Indian e-Commerce companies which relies on discount to generate sale.

The burn rate of Indian E-Commerce segment is too high and there is no profitability in sight. Flipkart lost many high profile resource whereas Snapdeal faced increasing challenge to attract big names to use their platform. It's not important that how many sellers are there on the platform but its more important that how the brands are getting attached with the platform.

Based on the newpaper report, SnapDeal embarked 200 Crore to go for brand facelift so that they attract brands on their portal. It's a fact that most of the e-commerce companies are generating most of the GMV through electronics and the competition is so intense that the chance of profitability is near to zero but to ensure that user buys the product from the platform, e-commerce companies are offering discounts.

SnapDeal also bought many analytical companies to recharge companies in order to integrate it with the central platform to differentiate themselves from the competitors but they failed to achieve the same for one or another reason. They completely failed to monetize their platform through alternative revenue stream and i should say that all the e-commerce companies in India failed in that segment.

The much delayed advertisement blitz is not going to help SnapDeal much to change their fortune but they can do so if they invest half of the embarked budget in enhancing their platform and go full blown user acquisition in disruptive model.

I would love to see Indiane-Commerce companies grow and be successful but the prospects are bleak as the number of buyers on e-commerce portals are limited and still retail segment is very strong.

Even though I wish SnapDeal all the best and hoping that they will come back strongly.

TRAI Current Feeler on Point of Interconnect and Termination Charges - One Gaining, Rest Loosing

Based on the reports published in Economic Times, TRAI offered their intentions clear by sending out feeler that they are not going to allow Incumbent Operator such as Airtel , Vodafone, Ideacellular and others to ask for higher termination fee. They also indicated that Incumbent operators must provide required number of point of interconnect to Reliance Jio.

If I am not wrong, TRAI few days back released an statement that they recommended the concerned parties to resolve the concerns through talks. They also pointed out that in case both the parties will fail to come to common agreement then only TRAI is going to intervene.

Since Economic Times came out with the report and if I believe on that report then I want to ask TRAI very simple query that " How TRAI came to conclusion that talks will yield no result". " Why they are not focusing on revenue loss which will be incurred by Government given the impact of low per minute realization.

At the end its my assessment and i might be wrong that India is a place where the single agenda of regulators are to squeeze out player. Regulators must realize that any degradation of Incumbent mobile operator financial health means job losses, more NPA, impact on IT sector, Impact on Startups and loss of government revenue and more importantly another recession.

Its a right saying in India that If I am happy then rest happy; If I am sad then rest should be sad. Dear regulators please wake up...

TRAI Failed Attempt to Bridge the Differences Between Reliance Jio and Airtel,Vodafone,Ideacellular, and Other

Post lots of mud slugging on each other, TRAI directed Reliance Jio and Incumbent Operators like Airtel, Vodafone, Ideacellular and Others to sit across the table and make a way to break the impasse on point of interconnect. Based on the report, Tcc to show the world that they tried and directed both the parties to settle the issues through talks. They also pointed out that failure on agreement will force TRAI to act which will be enforced. TRAI made a path clear for both the parties to waste another two months in discussion and subsequent to that another month for TRAI to release their order which will be challenged by the Operator in any circumstances.

Great work done by TRAI.

Apple Showed its Innovative Class - Invest in Device, Accessories, Services & Stocks

Apple deserve our appreciation to continue follow the innovation path and surprise it's loyal customer base. The 7th Sept 2016 launch of iPhone series phone along with AirPod and Smart watch took competitor with surprise. As i mentioned in by article as well as video that one should be ready for the surprise and am happy to announce that our prediction about potential feature set came true given our continuous minute observation of Apple acquisition to CEO statements to competitor movement. Apple always believes in Classes rather than masses with clear understanding about both the Class and Mass segment.

The price point attached with AirPod will be super duper hit during holiday season and whoever disagree with me should wait for the Apple result of Dec 2016 quarter. The features of AirPod is going to make a kill given the battery support, charging mechanism and most suitable candidate for gifting purpose during holiday season.

“ Apple iPhone7 series devices with different storage option and price points are very competitive given the features around battery life camera, voice quality, Waterproof & dust protector; multi aperture camera with HD quality support, Audio quality converts it into Audio & Video centric product. “

The rigid innovative team of Apple showed lots of flexibility and came out with multiple color and most importantly included jet black and Matt Black. I strongly believe that these two additional colors will attract maximum booking during preorders.

I still remember Carl Ichan statement that he sold Apple Share as he don't see value given the current lineup of product but it's my recommendation to him to go and buy Apple equity without delay.

Many analyst firm like Canlays an others forecasting that Apple Unit sale will remain at the lower end even after great launch from Apple. I would like to remind the well established analytics players that one need to know the pulse of the people. Everyone kept their focus on iPhone 7 Series devices but I also took AirPod into consideration. Most importantly, Apple carry a brand value wherein all youngster wants to use it be it accessories or devices and there AirPod launch will attract many.

At the same time it is also expected that Apple will launch iPhone 7 series devices in top 50 markets whereas will reduce the price of existing portfolio in other 100 countries to bring in volume and will clear the inventory before phasing out series 5 and continue with iPhone6 series and iPhone7 series devices

I am also very optimistic about their services business where they have launched Smart Watch with Pokémon Go. We all should remember that Apple decision to integrate the game with Smart watch will attract hundreds of millions of users who are mad behind that game to go and buy Apple Smart Watch. The tactical move by Apple CEO Mr. Cook is nothing but a killer move. The price point kept for Smart Watch also in the range wherein masses in western countries will rush for.

Most of us were concerned about China market where Apple struggled in recent quarter, I believe that high end Chinese customer base will go for it and will ditch home grown device manufacturer given the quality of the product.

Regarding the profitability, I am sure that Dec 2016 quarter profitability will be record breaking given the fact that all major market where Apple generates most of their revenue is getting stable economically except Middle East.

Lastly but most importantly, Apple recent launched product will be face little to no resistance from the competitor side as its biggest competitor is struggling with their own Samsung Note 7 Battery problem and they are banned on Flights. Many of Samsung competitors may use Samsung problem as unique selling point that their battery is safe which intern is going to help Apple indirectly.

As conclusion, Apple again showed its class for which they are known and investor should invest in Apple post consultation with their financial advisers. At the same time, Consumers and presumes should buy the product without delay as the device is nothing but a moving office for you now.

TRAI Intervention to Settle Dispute Between Jio & Airtel,Vodafone,Idea cellular - Settlement will lose their Relevance

Post incumbent mobile service provider Airtel,Vodafone and others letter to PMO that they are not legally bound to give point of interconnect to enable Reliance jio initiated call to be terminated on Airtel or Vodafone or Idea cellular or others network. COAI president Rajan Mathews on records said that Airtel or Vodafone or Idea cellular or others don't have the financial strength to enhance their network or their existing network capabilities to handle such an humongous traffic and it will reduce their per min realization to 22 to 20 paisa which will lead to a situation where incumbent operator will start bleeding and will come to a situation wherein they may turn up as sick company. TRAI sudden change of heart to get the handshake done between incumbent and jio is to ensure that all are settled before spectrum auction ad government of India is expecting 5.6 lakh crore from auction and it will help government to fix their fiscal deficit.

In a scenario, incumbent operator agrees to offer point of interconnect and change their stand will be suicidal. It will give Jio a talking point that all the disruption were intentional instead of technical limitation.  It will change the perception of user that incumbent operator never wanted to reduce the cost of service. More importantly COAI will lose its relevance moving forward. It will be interesting to see the outcome but in my point of view that impass will remain be there and it will go to Supreme Court at the end which will impact Jio network performance and user experience.  At the end who will be the loser will be end user.

Airtel Service Better than Reliance Jio - How

Reliance Jio launched its newly built 4G network and claims that it offers the best service. Most of the services based Applications and Platform for Consumer to Enterprise are off HD quality. They are claiming seamless high quality voice as they are using IP network. Here I would like to bring it to readers notice that Reliance Industry post their family division asked their corporate employees to move from Reliance Communications to Airtel and they were happy with Airtel Service. That is the reason that they took corporate voice and data service from Airtel and not moved to any other network.

Post their network readiness, just like political parties, they released to whip to its employee to move from Airtel and Reliance Jio followed by raising the Quality of service issues around Airtel and other network. The forced employees to use MNP to get the employees on their network. In my point of view, Being such a brand new network, Reliance Jio should support BYOD as well as it should be user decision to use Reliance Jio network or Airtel Network By using Airtel for more than 7 years, Reliance validated that Airtel Network is robust and they were happy with the services. Airtel should use these pointer's while selling their services

Airtel and Vodafone Exposed Reliance Jio Tariff Claim

Post Reliance Jio came out with their Tariff plan and claimed that their data plan is 1/10 th cheaper tha the competitor took everybody by surprise. Airtel , Ideacellular share price tanked by 8 to 9 % and everywhere Reliance Jio digital team claimed that here comes the free call.

Airtel and Vodafone post their analysis of Reliance Jio Tariff, shot back with presentation which clearly stated that their per GB cost will be coming around INR 66. At the same time, they also offered insight about the limitation of using Reliance Jio network. In my point of view, Reliance Jio is a closed loop network and both the source and destination should have VoLTE devices to send and receive calls.

Airtel Slashed 4G Price By 80% : "Be Careful"

Airtel announced that they slashed 80% and at the same time asked user to do one time recharge in order to avail lower cost recharge for data per GB. Currently airtel charges 259 per GB. We calculated the plan and the current cost yo end user and we realise that airtel slashed price from 30 to 38% instead of 80%. User should be careful while adopting the service and should ask airtel center the calculation before recharging. Our calculation might be wrong and in that scenario please share your comment with the calculation and it is also valid for Airtel

Boom Boom For AirTel, Vodafone, Idea After Reliance Jio Announce Tariff Plan

Reliance jio came out with their tariff price in which they made voice call free. Recently during the trial with 1.5 MN users they traded guns with airtel, Vodafone, idea and other for point of interconnect as 80% of call were getting dropped. Reliance jio needs to pay INR .14 per min to destination service provider and it may cost Reliance 6000 Cr and that will be direct loss for Reliance Jio who is going to pay for it, it's no one but Reliance investor and who is going to gain is airtel , Vodafone and all.

Get Reliance Jio Device from Flipkart and save Mobile Bills

Reliance jio has just launched LYF smartphones at very lowest prize on Flipkart so after buying these smartphones , you will be free for next three months from the mobile phone bills, data bills and much more.This is really a smart move played by Reliance jio in order to sustain profit in current market scenario.
