Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) released its January 2022 report on the Telecom Subscription Data. As we are closely monitoring the wireless subscribers and with two telcos rolling out 5G Networks across India, Vodafone Idea is the only telco with no actual 5G rollout announcements except 5G Device support announcements and Delivery of 5G Ready SIM. Also, Vodafone Idea tweaks tariffs to make them look attractive to stop wireless subscriber churn. But all those moves really helped the telco? TRAI data for January 2023 says No, as the telco lost over 1.3 Million wireless subscribers.
