Integration with Jio? Are you sure bro about Bsnl integrating with Jio? Bsnl has the potential to beat any private telecom but due to lack of vision, and governments interest, it is suffering. People are reluctant to opt for bsnl broadband due to poor restoration services.

But its only intra circle, so those sharing of network will only be available while roaming.

It's intra not inter Circle. Intra circle means home circle. You can roam on Jio 4G Network on home circle also bcoz of this contract, same also applies to Jio customers.
