What u think will happen to mobile data tariffs this year ..
As India is still ranking first in the cheapest data price in the world …
If we take jio’s example earlier 2 GB was for 444 (84days)
Now
2 GB is for 599 (84 days )
So àlmost 33% increase ….
So what u think will come out of box of the these data companies..
- Sort By
5G will come by the end of 2021 and the rates will increase, but the data given will also grow.
People don’t have any sense of perspective in India. Remember before Jio we paid almost 350rs every month for an hour of Talktime, some SMS and 1GB of data with utterly pathetic networks even on Airtel, Vade and Idli cartel.
Yes , Jio give 1.5 gb per day to me! But how do I use it? I have to wake at 01 AM to use complete data in approx 1 hr. Or I have to waste 6-7 working hours to use that data in day. Where is speed in that data? Why dont Ambani increase speed? What is his perspective on this issue? In reality , most people use 400-500 mb max. In that too, they use 100 mb for any productive work, other is wasted on watching movies , youtube and blind bhakts singing melodies of Modi Govt and Ambani Adani.

Within city limits mobile networks/broadband providers will face serious competition from startups using low cost hi tech portable transmission devices such as WifiDabba.
. Future of mobile service providers seems bleak. Even Trai has reduced the upcoming spectrum auction reserve price by 43%
After Voda introduced weekly roll over, many have already switched to Vi as their primary data SIM. The 2GB/day plan of Vi actually lasts more than the 3GB/day of Jio due to data roll over benefits.
Till 31st Dec, Jio was providing additional data with topup. Now that has been withdrawn so data has already become costly in Jio.
But BSNL was launching 5G service with Nokia..? I heard that
Govt should focus on fibre connection to last mile which help better connectivity across India.
Even if 4G / 5G becomes costly then atleast Everyone will have access to stable connection at fair price if broadband is given priority.
Every year, data rates go up 50% while prices drop 25% or more.. This is because they can transmit more data on the same fiber network by just changing the components at the end transmission points.. But We never saw any price changes for broadband connections even though they were paying less every year for the same data.. Then once a decade they lower prices or double the speeds.. But their costs for the same data are like 10% what it was before.. Many countries have free wifi upto a certain speed and is considered a human right. Some countries which are private charge an arm and a leg unless people make a huge fuss like the US. indians for the most part will just accept what ever.. unless someone else like jio brings out something and they all move.. yet most still did not move.. If more people complained then idea voda airtel etc would have been forced to make changes before an external player had to come in. Yet these companies are saying they are losing money.. But look at amazon.. trillion $$$ company and still losing money.. yet have trillions to spend on things.. so profit and loss are in the minds of perception.. many ways for profits to turn into losses.. just buy jets for all executives.. viola..
That is almost 10-15 years away. 4G will be removed gradually then just like 3G. All telecom companies are working to increase their ARPU (avg revenue per user). The cost of per gb will reduce over time but more data will be bundled for higher price to get the APRU.
AFAIK, all telecom companies are under tremendous pressure to keep updating their infra to handle the ever increasing number of devices, IOT will be game changer.
JIO does not have 2G (a very good choice they made). Others want to follow but that would mean shutting down millions of basic phones/swipe machines etc that are being used everywhere in India specially in remote places. Spectrum is extremely expensive in India and these operators are lobbying very hard to vacate 2G waves and use for 4G. That will happen gradually and no 2G/3G anymore. Eventually even 4G will become obsolete. 5G is tough and expensive to implement, but it will enable lots of new possibilities like connected self-driving cars, real time applications like remote operations by doctors, etc. it will be like living in a science-fiction time, maybe we already are with all the tech innovations that we have already.
And those who claim that the previous Govt had huge loans, RTI replies have confirmed that no such loans existed and not much was paid back.
In fact the loans have increased at all time high the last 6 years. Outstanding Food Subsidy amount alone has increased from less than Rs.1 Lakh Cr in 2014 to more than Rs.3 lakh cr at present.
Do you know why? High interest rates and it compounds. Interest doesn’t stay there stagnating.
Interest rates today and for a few years now have been at its lowest point in a long time.
This is the best time to take on as much loans as possible since the interest rates are paltry and create infrastructure to develop quickly.
Also can’t say anything to someone who doesn’t take scams of lakhs of crores into account under namazis.
