Airtel and Jio Expected to Launch 5G Services this Month; Vi Could Too

The last leg of August 2022 is almost here. There isn’t much time left for the month to be over now. Airtel had said that it is going to launch 5G services in August itself. It was an encouraging sign for the telco’s investors and the consumers. Jio’s Chairman Akash Ambani had also hinted at an August launch.

Well, the thing is that Reliance Industries Limited is soon going to hold its Annual General Meet (AGM). The AGM of RIL is scheduled for August 29, 2022. Jio’s 5G launch and other services and products related to that could be announced during that day only. Vodafone Idea (Vi) also has access to the 5G spectrum now that it has paid spectrum dues to DoT. Thus, Vi could also launch 5G in August itself.
