The Indian Express had earlier reported that Adani Data Networks was penalised by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) at least twice since last year for not utilising its 5G spectrum so far. The department had sent multiple show cause notices to the company over the delay in launching connectivity services. It is understood that the company has been unable to see a clear use case for the airwaves it owns.

Why Adani group is transferring 5G spectrum to Airtel, effectively shelving its telecom ambitions

DishTV Watcho, the OTT aggregation platform, has announced a strategic partnership with RailWire, the broadband internet service from RailTel. The collaboration will debut in West Bengal, delivering a seamless bundle of high-speed internet and curated OTT content under one convenient subscription.

This all-in-one offering aims to simplify digital access for consumers by combining RailWire’s trusted broadband service with Watcho’s expansive OTT library, including both regional and national favorites. With a strong focus on regional content and affordability, the bundled service offers consumers an immersive entertainment experience without the hassle of managing multiple platforms or billing cycles.

The service will initially roll out across West Bengal and is expected to expand to other parts of the country in phased deployments, underlining a growing trend toward integrated internet and entertainment solutions tailored to local audiences.

Three customized plans have been introduced as part of the rollout:

• RW Bangla Entry Pack: 25 Mbps speed with 1.5 TB of data
• RW Bangla Super Pack: 50 Mbps speed with 2 TB of data
• RW Bangla Premium Pack: 100 Mbps speed with 2.5 TB of data

All plans include access to 13+ OTT platforms, such as Hoichoi, ShemarooMe, Sanskar, FanCode, Discovery+, Hungama, Watcho Exclusives, and more, starting at just ₹349 + taxes.

Manoj Dobhal, CEO and Executive Director of Dish TV India Ltd., said, “At Dish TV and Watcho, we are committed to delivering innovations that add real value to our customers’ lives. This partnership with RailTel brings together two trusted brands to offer a hassle-free, all-in-one entertainment solution that is both affordable and locally relevant. We are excited to launch this in West Bengal and are confident it will resonate deeply with consumers seeking simplicity, reliability, and quality in their digital experience.”

RailTel’s Director NPM, Yashpal Singh Tomar, added, “We are delighted to join hands with Watcho in bringing this bundled proposition to life. RailWire has always stood for dependable connectivity, and this tie-up allows us to elevate the digital journey of our users by offering them not just internet access, but a complete entertainment ecosystem. This initiative is aligned with our vision of bridging the digital divide and enriching lives, especially in emerging regional markets.”

RailTel currently operates a robust optical fiber network of over 62,000 route kilometers along railway tracks and an additional 21,000 kilometers across cities, enabling connectivity through more than 11,000 local partners. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in Watcho’s continued mission to drive digital content accessibility by partnering with infrastructure leaders.

I am talking about 5G equipment, not 4G small cell, on which Samsung is written.

They have done something since last two months or so, speeds have increased considerably, both on 4G and 5G. Atleast 100Mbps on 4G and atleast 400Mbps on 5G is achieved.

World has moved to 20-50 gigs some say Indians don't need that much speed, aree why not , we pay heftily but get peanuts so somewhere we need wasooli and yes Mircoscan I have heard great reviews. Even one of the folks from the Tata play fiber 1 gbps moved into this plan. Also thank you and @TheAndroidFreak pointing out for me the 7 star presently serving, tbh I missed the above convo that time

Indians are settled for ordinary life. They don't have any option but to listen to people like Sunil Bharti Mittal, that unlimited doesn't make sense. India is not ready for 4G. One fellow reader asked, itne speed ka kya karoge. Such is mentality. OnePlus for a reason, kept their title as 'Never Settle' for hitting Samsung/Apple. Now people are understanding what actually OnePlus meant. OnePlus 13 is even competing with S25U and youtubers are comparing OnePlus 13 with S25+ which is not even close. There is need for 1Gbps in India at affordable rates. And people will buy it like mad and will offload 5G/4G traffic.


If you frankly ask me, OnePlus 12/OnePlus 13/OnePlus 13R/Moto Edge 50 Ultra are excellent value for money phones in India. There is no need to buy S24U and S25U in India. These three phones are sufficient overall. iQOO 12 and iQOO 13 as well are good excellent phones. But software is keeping them back. iQOO 12 now is excellent value for money phone at 45K for 512GB. iQOO 12 has better signal reception than OnePlus 12 over Airtel/Jio. Now OnePlus 13 has better reception than iQOO 13. Let's see for OnePlus 14/iQOO 14. Lol.

It all depends on urgency then comfort then wants

I can’t talk about others

But for me personally

I would take flight if its urgent

I would take flight if i need comfort (since the Air Time is under 1 hour for Mumbai to Ahemdabad)

I would take Bullet Train / Vande Bharat if I really want to travel by train (lets say in Monsoon)

So this is your answer why government has focus on Vande Bharat and Bullet train, this is the future of India.
