Blood boils if we read his whole interview. He says 399 is too cheap and that has to go up. And as you said, he says 70-80 rupees should be the minimum charge per connection. Thank god, we have Ambani to our rescue, otherwise this guy would have squeezed every penny from us!! I sincerely hope Ambani continues his tactics and keep the prices lower.
I agree that some operators were charging us too much money for data before Jio's launch. But companies like Aircel weren't charging us much. In other countries also data prices are way expensive than India. It's sad that they don't have money like Jio to acquire customers by putting money from other business to acquire customers. They also don't have government that gives loopholes to corporate companies. And many of my family members and friends working for telecom companies lost their jobs. After shutting down of these companies jio's service has also gone downhill. At first they have the most arrogant customer service. Second they can't handle the traffic of their customer base.
Absolutely true here in Singapore. Due to the country's high purchasing power, I am forced to pay S$10 (Rs. 520) for 1GB, while we are finding Mittal's statement that 'Rs. 400 is justified for 1 GB' obnoxious.
Lol, he wanted the monopoly to control what we browse. Sites like SoundCloud and Mega are blocked. Twitter or Facebook might get blocked tomorrow.
International companies (except Vodafone) have all left India. Look at Telenor, NTT Docomo, MTS and CK Hutchinson. For example, Telenor has a massive presence in Pakistan and Bangladesh (in Pakistan it is called Telenor and in Bangladesh it is called Grameenphone), in addition to Southeast Asia and its home region of Scandinavia (Telenor is from Norway). But it failed miserably in India. Fortunately the Telenor network merged with Airtel, so Telenor subscribers were moved to Airtel. Many other companies weren't so lucky. Videocon Mobile was another big failure.
I know about all this man. My point is lack of competition is killing all the existing operators.
Yes. Airtel, Vodafone and Idea charged whatever they liked all these years. Jio's entry was too sudden for them to cope.
Internet speed of all 4 operators Jio, Airtel, Vodafone-Idea and BSNL are pathetic in my city.
