Consumers won’t be happy, but an Indian price hike is necessary
Reliance Jio is the latest Indian telco to announce an increase in mobile prices, but considering the precarious position the market is in, it is probably much needed.
Reliance Jio is the latest Indian telco to announce an increase in mobile prices, but considering the precarious position the market is in, it is probably much needed.
Less than three years after launching Reliance Jio has overtaken Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel to become India’s biggest MNO by subscriber.
Indian telco Bharti Airtel is reportedly in discussions to expand its presence in the Kenyan market through the acquisition of Telkom Kenya.
Bharti Airtel is reportedly eyeing up Reliance Communications spectrum assets, which are currently being sold by lenders who are trying to recover Rs45,000cr in debt.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has released subscriber numbers for August, and somehow Tata Teleservices topped the list.
Reliance Communications rumours are continuing to swirl after a weekend of adverts and offers to lure customers away from the troubled telco.
Rumours have been swirling for a few days and it would appear there is some substance; Bharti Airtel will absorb Tata Group’s struggling mobile business.
Bharti Airtel might be involved in a drawn-out mobile slugfest with Jio, but a partnership with SK Telecom could offer a bit of breathing room for the under-pressure operator.
What could have been described as a headache for the last couple of months has progressed into full blown migraine, as the Jio challenge hits Bharti Airtel hard in the wallet.
Sometimes you have to wonder whether we’re actually dealing with adults at some of these operators, with the levels of petulance in the Indian market reaching new levels.
In what has proved to be one of the more competitive markets in recent years, Bharti Airtel has launched a string of new digital innovations which might (or might not) wow you.
Bharti Airtel has begun to rub salt into Jio’s wounds by launching its own summer offer, only a short while after Indian regulators banned Jio’s from continuing for another three months.
Bharti Airtel has reported its annual figures, and while there is nominal growth across the twelve months, a notable decline in Q4 indicates the Jio pressure might be starting to weight heavy.
Bharti Airtel has accused Reliance Jio of directly ignoring an order from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), and continuing its ‘Summer Surprise’ discounts for customers.
The Indian telecoms arms race continues with current number one MNO Bharti Airtel set to acquire Tikona Digital Networks and with it a bunch of 2,300 MHz spectrum.
With the battle for India’s mobile market continuing to escalate, it seems it’s all got a little bit too much for Norway’s Telenor which will sell its operations to Bharti Airtel.
Vodafone India has taken its feud with market newcomer Jio to the Delhi High Court, stating the free voice services being provided Jio violated regulator tariff orders.
Vodafone India has confirmed it is in talks to merge with Idea Celluar, which would create the largest Indian mobile operator by number of subscriptions.
The major new initiative to bring mobile banking to the whole of India is backed by around $440 million of investment and government endorsement.
Indian operator Bharti Airtel has announced the launch of Project Leap, a network transformation programme that will cost it Rs 60,000 crore – around $9 billion.
