Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has been working on rolling out 4G. But at the same time, the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DoT), the R&D arm of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) which is BSNL’s partner in launching indigenous 4G, has also been working on homegrown 5G solutions. C-DoT had earlier said that once BSNL launches 4G, it can also launch 5G with the help of a simple upgrade.... Read More
The first half of 2021 made many feel like the Indian telecom sector is heading towards an inevitable duopoly of Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio. Well, that’s not true anymore. It won’t happen because the government has addressed the concern. BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) is never really given any importance while discussing competition in the industry because it is a legacy network operator. Vodafone Idea is still not adding...

If you are someone who is eagerly waiting for 5G to arrive in India so that you can see seriously high download speeds such as 4 Gbps which Vodafone Idea (Vi) demonstrated during a media event, you are waiting to be disappointed. You are definitely not going to get such high download speeds on your mobile directly. First of all, those speeds will only be possible if you are in... Read More
OnePlus started as a very focused company looking to deliver the best user experience at the lowest cost possible. Of course, it would have been hurting the profit margins, and it was understandable for the company to keep hiking the prices of its flagships. In less than a decade, OnePlus has become one of the most prominent Android smartphone brands in India. It has been possible because of the strategy... Read More
Bharti Airtel is likely now enjoying its time in the ruthless Indian telecom market. The same can’t be said for its rival, Vodafone Idea (Vi), which has been struggling to make ends meet. Bharti Airtel is in a golden position given the developments. The telco’s deal with Google was approved on June 30 by the CCI (Competition Commission of India). This means that Google now owns 1.28% of Bharti Airtel,... Read More
Vodafone Idea (Vi) is currently offering VoWi-Fi calling service in 12 states of the country. It is such an important service, especially for boosting the coverage experience for the users. It is used by so many people inside their houses who don’t get proper indoor mobile network coverage. But with Vodafone Idea, it is only available in 12 states including Maharashtra & Goa, UP West, Kolkata, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Punjab, UP... Read More
If you are someone who keeps track of their mobile bills, you know they have risen in the last few months. That is because the telecom operators implemented a tariff hike on prepaid plans. India has four operators, out of which three are private telecom companies, and all the private operators are now offering similar sort of plans. In the case of Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi), the similarity between... Read More
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is struggling because of the simple fact that it doesn’t have 4G yet. The state-run telco is planning to launch 4G networks in multiple parts of the country by the end of 2022. On Tuesday, Ericsson said that 4G is still going to account for 55% of the mobile connections by 2027. This means that 4G is definitely going to be relevant at least till... Read More
Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, and Vodafone Idea (Vi), the three private telecom operators in India, have a big challenge in giving satisfactory services to all consumers. There’s a phrase that goes – “You can’t make everyone happy”, and with hundreds of millions of users, it becomes even more relevant for the telcos. The telecom operators are service providers, and all they look to do is provide services better than their... Read More
The Indian telecom industry has been grinding to retain high-paying customers and add new ones as fast as possible. The game has slightly shifted from capturing the largest subscriber market share to the highest average revenue per user (ARPU) figure. Telcos no longer just want subscribers at the cost of offering super affordable services. All the private telecom companies have hiked tariffs and are planning for more such hikes to... Read More
Jio, Vi, and Airtel are the only three PAN-India 4G operators in India right now. All the telcos have hundreds of millions of users in their subscriber base to whom they provide 4G network services. There are 2G users as well, but that’s a conversation for another day. Today, what I want to talk about is what if Jio, Vi, and Airtel don’t roll out 5G and just focus on... Read More
