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.
The 5G subscription in India is estimated to have reached about 10 million by 2022 end, and is seen accounting for about 57 per cent of mobile subscriptions in the country by the end of 2028, making it "the fastest growing" 5G region globally.
Under the Jio 5G Welcome Offer, the company is offering 1gbps free unlimited data to eligible users. The question is – how much speed is Jio 5G offering?
Sharma also said that he bought a new Google smartphone ‘Pixel 6a’ only to use 5G services rolled out by internet-provided Airtel but that did not help.
