Direct-to-Home (DTH) operators have slightly been sidelined by the popular over-the-top (OTT) platforms. Most of the broadcasters have their own OTT apps too with a freemium business model where a lot of content that people have to pay for to watch on TVs is free. For the last few months, the subscriber churn rate for the DTH operators has been high and stagnant. There are very limited DTH operators in... Read More

Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi), the three leading private telecom operators, will have a big question to address in the near future. It is how to offer 5G services and how to differentiate network services for regular consumers between 4G and 5G. There’s no doubt that normal consumers won’t have a very high demand for 5G network services if they have access to good 4G networks. Thus,... Read More
To no one’s surprise, Google’s flagship smartphone series — Pixel 6, didn’t launch in India. The search engine giant has cleared its strategy of focusing only on the mid-range smartphone segment in the sub-continent country. When the Chinese companies are selling their flagship smartphones successfully in the super-premium range in India, it is a little sad to see Google missing out. Google Pixel 6 series in India could have made... Read More
Vodafone Idea (Vi) is in a slightly better position than it was two weeks back when we talk about the upcoming 5G spectrum auctions. The spectrum auctions are going to burn the telcos’ pockets with thousands of crores flowing towards the government. Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel look solid with good profits in the book and fresh investments onboard. Vodafone Idea (Vi) was struggling in this regard until a few... Read More
When Jio arrived in the Indian telecom market, it started offering unlimited voice calls and unlimited data to the users with a ton of SMS every day for a very less fixed cost. Jio didn’t start with postpaid plans heavily but only focused on the prepaid segment of the market. The companies that couldn’t adopt the model of Jio had to go out of business, and the companies which remained,... Read More

Almost every Chinese smartphone company that came to India started by offering affordable devices. Companies such as Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi had almost the same sort of strategy, be it in terms of advertising, marketing, or product offerings. But OnePlus stood a little apart from its competitors and didn’t just go for launching smartphones that were affordable Androids, but actually flagship killers. For many years, users could relate to the... Read More
The internet has become a common part of almost everyone’s life today. The news updates are faster with the internet; people can connect with their loved ones or colleagues in other countries with the internet; businesses can sell at scale with the internet without having the need to be physically present everywhere, and much more. But there’s a severe issue of good 4G networks in India. While the telecom operators... Read More
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is right now trying to roll out homegrown 4G networks in the country. The state-run telco isn’t going to be rolling out 5G networks anytime soon. However, once the telco has built a strong 4G presence around the country, it can utilise the 4G core and go with 5G non-standalone architecture (NSA) networks to deliver a homegrown 5G as well. Many people are of the... Read More
One of the questions that a lot of people have in their mind today is how much more will they have to pay for data once the private telecom operators are done with multiple tariff hikes. In late 2021, Airtel was the first to announce that it would be going with tariff hikes. Vodafone Idea followed it with a similar announcement but implemented tariff hikes a day earlier than Airtel.... Read More
