Reliance Jio has urged the government to shut down 2G and 3G networks to avoid unnecessary costs and migrate all customers to 4G and 5G networks. Jio believes shutting down 2G and 3G networks will give impetus to developing 5G use cases and drive digital transformation across industries.
Bharati Airtel and Reliance Jio are likely to withdraw their unlimited 5G data plans in the second half of 2024 and charge at least 5-10% extra than the current 4G tariff to boost revenue growth.
