5G networks seem to be a secondary concern for the consumers in India. While many are upgrading to 5G devices fast and making India a 5G-ready market for the telecom operators, there are a lot of things that the telcos haven’t addressed yet. First of all, there’s no single operator that’s really good at providing 4G network services in each of the areas of India. Thus, a 4G network such... Read More
Every day, there are a ton of people who are shifting to iPhones for the first time in their life. iOS and Android are two very different platforms regardless of being easy to operate. If you are contemplating shifting from Android to iOS yourself, then there are a lot of things you should know. Yes, iPhones are good, and they are pretty fast, but they come at a cost to...

Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea (Vi) must focus on the quality of service (QoS) they are offering to the users after multiple tariff hikes. There’s no doubt that there’s going to be another round of prepaid tariff hikes later in 2022. The private telcos are changing the market dynamics by hiking tariffs. The more the prices go up, the more it becomes about premium and quality. But the... Read More
Apple, the biggest tech company in the world, started growing at a rapid pace post the launch of the iPhone. It was a gadget unlike any at the time. But now, there are many alternatives to an iPhone. But like I have said before, an iPhone isn’t just a smartphone anymore. It has become a status and a style statement. It’s an entry into the premium Apple ecosystem. But the... Read More
5G launch in India is just a matter of a few months now. We might get to see live 5G networks in multiple cities of India by the end of 2022. At the same time, one should remember that 4G tariff hikes are nearby too. Back in November 2022, every telco had announced a prepaid tariff hike. This tariff hike for the prepaid plans came after a two year period.... Read More
Netflix stock has suffered a major blow from the loss of 200,000 subscribers during the January - March 2022 period. The over-the-top (OTT) giant is one of the most famous entertainment platforms across the world, yet demand for its services is going down. It is worth noting that stopping services in Russia has also contributed to the fall in subscribers by a significant amount. Netflix has estimated that it might... Read More
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has millions of loyal fans and customers. Even though the telco doesn’t have 4G networks present across India, it has been able to add new active users for two consecutive months. During the same period, Vi (Vodafone Idea) has lost users. If BSNL is adding new active users when it doesn’t have 4G networks, things might go more favourably for the state-run telecom company when... Read More
4G smartphones are getting more expensive as days go by. This has happened because the COVID-19 spread across the world. Supply chains have been hit, and the cost of shipment of mobile parts has increased. Even the chipset costs have gone up due to extremely high demand, whereas there is a very limited supply. Indian telcos are trying to move the 2G users to 4G as fast as possible. It... Read More
Tata Play Fiber, the fiber broadband arm of Tata Play (earlier Tata Sky), offers services across India. It has become one of the most prominent internet service providers (ISPs) in the country. Likewise, there’s You Broadband, the internet company owned by India’s third-largest telecom operator - Vodafone Idea (Vi). But there’s one thing about these companies, neither of them compares to the likes of Airtel Xstream Fiber and JioFiber. This... Read More
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) recently came out with recommendations for the 5G spectrum auctions. The regulatory body recommended a price cut on spectrum bands. But the interesting thing to note here is that the price cut was done keeping in mind a period of 20 years. However, when 30 years are considered, the reserve price recommendations are higher than what the industry would have expected. The industry... Read More
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has been fighting its own battle for rolling out 4G when the private operators are ready for 5G. The state-owned telco is finally not far from realising its goal of delivering India its first homegrown 4G network. From the core network to the complete equipment, BSNL’s 4G network across India will be powered by homegrown technology. BSNL has already placed an order worth Rs 550... Read More
The satellite communications (satcom) industry and the telecom industry are at odds about how the government should give spectrum to the communication service providers (CSPs). In 2022, for the first time, the spectrum will also be sought by private satcom players. Thus, the telecom operators aren’t the only ones who will be competing for the scarce airwaves. Satcom companies believe that global practice should be followed, and the spectrum should... Read More
