By 2020, Indian consumers will be paying not more than Rs 50 per GB for mobile data where in 2016, an Indian mobile data user was paying Rs 228 per GB on an average, Analysys Mason said in an ET Telecom webinar.
In a scenario where price per GB declines to Rs 50, the LTE data usage would go up to 6-7 GB per month and assuming 17% Wi-Fi offload as per current trends, 4G data usage on cellular networks would reach 5-6 GB per month, analysts from the research firm predicted. The 3G data usage is expected to reach 1.5-2 GB by 2020 because 3G tariffs are expected to drop in-line with 4G tariffs.
Also, it is because of Reliance Jio that by 2020, 80% of India’s population will be able to afford a 4G phone which would otherwise have been 68% had Jio not introduced its 4G VoLTE feature phone.
