Good News Data tariffs fall 93 percent in last three years: Department of Telecom

R
Mobile Internet rates plunged by 93 percent while data usage per user surged by over 25 times in three years to 2017, the Department of Telecom (DoT) said today.

"Cheapest tariff globally -- Rs 33 per GB in 2014 to Rs 21 per GB as on September 2017, tariff reduction of 93 percent," DoT said in a tweet today.

The data war started following the entry of Reliance Jio in 2016. The company this year slashed the prices to as low as Rs 4 per GB per day. With falling mobile Internet rates, data usage also grew multifold.

Toyota, Suzuki would make cars for each other in India

Bapun
Toyota Motor Corp and Suzuki Motor Corp on Thursday agreed to produce cars for each other in India as Toyota aims to increase its market share in the fast-growing country dominated by its smaller rival.

The agreement, which follows an R&D partnership announced by the two Japanese automakers a year ago, will see Toyota secure production from Suzuki. The latter dominates India with its line-up of affordable compact cars, while Toyota has struggled to expand its presence in the market due to lean demand for its models.

Good News Airtel's Rs. 65 prepaid pack offers 1GB data for 28 days

R
Bharti Airtel has just announced an all-new data pack for its prepaid customers to take on similar packs from Reliance Jio, Vodafone, and Idea. The new Rs. 65 prepaid pack is available to select users and you can check whether you are applicable to receive this via my Airtel app.

The new Rs. 65 pack from Airtel offers 1GB of 3G or 2G data for a validity of 28 days. Unfortunately, the new prepaid pack doesn't offer 4G data which means users have to rely on 3G or 2G data depending on the region. Interestingly, Airtel also offers Rs. 49 tariff plan where users get 2GB 3G/ 4G data with a validity of 28 days. For some users, Airtel is also offering daily data plan where prepaid users are getting 1GB data at Rs. 49. It's worth noting that the new prepaid pack is available to select users and is not available for all users and you can check your eligibility via my Airtel app.
