General Discussions about Vi (Vodafone Idea)

[kanagadeepan]

Thy are too late to find that VoId's Promoters are good for nothing. But Nationalizing VoId will be a blunder for sure.

After all the Spectrum allocation, funds and Sov Guarantee given, support for Gear, VRS funds, BSNL told yesterday that they will launch 4G in TN by second Half of 2024. Guess what, on that day, they will shamelessly say again, "We will launch 4G by Jan 2025". So Single BSNL is too much for us, then what will India do with TWO BSNLs ? All for what?? To avoid Duopoly?? People should come to the reality that, "We are ALREADY in duopoly". No amount of VoId or BSNL or even their combination will stop that.

There should not a case of no network, no incoming/outgoing and our SIMs and numbers go dead.
