Bharti Airtel has been successful in building a solid brand throughout the years. It is really the only telco that truly survived the market post the arrival of Reliance Jio in 2016. All the other operators went out of business because of the loss in market share, while Vodafone and Idea Cellular had to merge to keep running. Things haven’t been good for the other operators apart from Jio as... Read More
Reliance Jio is currently the number one telecom operator in India. The telco has come at the top because of offering the most benefits for the least price.

Bharti Airtel has an ecosystem of products that has helped it survive the... Read More

It is not just because... Read More
The consumers and the industry stakeholders alike are excited about the launch of fifth-generation technology in India. 5G and all the related technologies like ORAN, Massive MIMO and mmWave are all the buzzwords in the telecom industry right now. However, there are currently small inklings of new technology in development, and that is satellite communication. While satellite communication is not unheard of, its consumer and business application have been strictly... Read More
The concept of floor pricing might sound good to the ailing telecom operators, but it isn’t in the best interests of the country. A floor price would restrict the entry of low-income customers to the 4G networks in India. Further, it would make the competition very stale since the operators won’t be inclined to put efforts into getting high average revenue per user (ARPU) customers by enhancing their networks. In...

There are investors pulling their money out of the telecom market because of the current environment; then there are investors who are putting their money in the telcos and thinking 5G is going to solve their problem. The thing is, 5G is going to help, but not as fast and not as much as people anticipate it would. There’s one thing absolutely clear; the telcos aren’t going to avoid offering... Read More
The audio industry has been growing in India, with the rise of neckbands and truly wireless earbuds taking over from the generic wired earphones which are usually cheaper in comparison. One feature that has been making the rounds in recent times on these two new products is ANC or Active Noise Cancellation.

Smartphones have always been seen as the bridge to the internet for most, at least in India, where users are not equipped to afford both PCs and smartphones at the same time. But if you, as a user own both of them, you might have felt the need to use both devices efficiently, by synchronising both devices to offer similar sets of data/ information present, given as to how most...

The Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) service is something that has penetrated the Indian wired broadband industry thoroughly. Courtesy of optical fibre deployment across the country, the subscribers, are now able to attain speeds of up to 1 Gbps. However, unlike the 4G data revolution led by Reliance Jio, the Mukesh Ambani led telecom company was not able to shock the market into submission like it did in the case of LTE. As... Read More
The fifth-generation network technology is just around the corner for the Indian telecom industry. The 5G network is already live for a lot of subscribers in other parts of the world, but given the situation of the Indian telecom industry, it is quite understandable that the 5G network is going to be a little late for the consumers’ taste over here.
