Reliance Jio, India's number one telecom operator, is likely going to launch an affordable 5G smartphone. Jio is going to be one of the telecom operators offering the widest 5G coverage in India. Now the specifications of Jio's 5G smartphone have leaked. It would be hard for Jio to keep the manufacturing costs low because of the rise in the price of smartphone components. Thus, it would be interesting to... Read More
Reliance Jio, India's number one telecom operator is expected to roll out 5G very aggressively because of multiple factors (we will not go into that again today). This could also mean that Jio would again launch a new very affordable 5G smartphone or 5G feature phone for the Indian market. It should most likely be a smartphone because, after JioPhone Next's launch, it is clear that Jio understands the era... Read More
All the private telcos in India have been working for the last year to develop 5G use cases and prove their network is ready to handle higher data loads and capacity for enterprises and consumers. Vodafone Idea (Vi), the third-largest telco in the country, is, however, not in the right position to invest heavily in the 5G spectrum auction. GlobalData, a data analytics firm (via ET Telecom), said Vodafone Idea... Read More
Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea (Vi) are going to need the government at their side when the discussion of private 5G networks comes around. The telcos have demonstrated many use cases around 5G. But the common theme amongst most of these use-cases was that they were built for enterprises. The consumer-focused use cases were rare, and it makes sense because consumers just need to browse the internet, stream... Read More
The reserve price recommended by the TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) is still not what the industry people wanted. Regardless, the Cabinet is likely to go ahead with the pricing recommendations from the regulator. This puts Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio only as the companies which are expected to participate heavily in this auction. Vodafone Idea (Vi) doesn’t have a strong balance sheet at the moment, and the telco... Read More

According to the ET Telecom report, the loan agreement between the banks and Reliance... Read More

The telco has said that before the 5G networks are even rolled out in the country, there will be at least 100 million to 150 million 5G smartphone users already in the market. Sunil Dutt, President Devices Mobility and Mobility, Jio, said India would have between 100 million to... Read More
When 5G arrives in India, it is all going to be about revenue maximisation for the telecom operators. By offering 4G data to the consumers at the lowest cost possible, Indian telcos have tried to gain a bigger market share. The sole reason why the aggressive tariff hikes haven’t arrived yet is that the operators want a bigger market share before 5G networks are live in India. Airtel and Jio... Read More
