I think it is for all 5g handset users irrespective of ARPU

What if Jio price their 5G plan rates slightly lower than the current 4G plans ? This will boost the 4G to 5G conversion rate !

If they price the plans same as 4G there might be lump some 5G data given which can be used only in 5G network mode and separate regular 4G data. Because if u give more data in same plan and allow 4G device users to use it means they might postpone upgrading to new 5G phone.

Or they might increase the tariff rate 10-25% higher and do the above. IMO
