Reliance Jio Attacks Rivals Over 'Antiquated Business Models', TRAI Dependency
Reliance Jio's fast-paced growth has not but hurt the incumbent telecom operators' business but also forced them to resort to desperate measures like accusing the telecom regulator TRAI siding with the Mukesh Ambani'southward carrier.
Jio has oftentimes hit back, questioning other operators' competency and affinity for older technology. These differences are now taking some other twist as Jio has attacked operators of relying on outdated business models and technology. Speaking at the ET Telecom India Mobile Conclave, Reliance Jio President Mathew Oommen accused incumbent operators of being clung to "antiquated applied science and antiquated business models" which has resulted in "high inefficiencies" and consequently, unprofitable returns from the business.
Since the introduction of Jio, other operators have been crushed under the obligation of lowering their prices to match Jio's tariffs to avoid losing their users. As a matter of fact, incumbents haven't fared very well and even after 18 months since Jio's arrival have failed to lucifer up to Jio.
Oommen made these claims in response to COAI Director General Rajan Mathews remarks about the lack of regulatory intervention by TRAI. Pointing at the average revenue per user, he said the value in India is much lower than the global average. "Global boilerplate is $75 and we accept $3", he added.
Countering these claims, TRAI Secretary S Thou Gupta said that regulator does not demand to intervene in all pricing issues, instead only in case of the special ones hinting at the highly debated thing of "predatory pricing". Gupta iterated Oommen proverb that the adoption of latest technologies will allow operators lower the prices of their services and that will benefit customers.
From what it seems, both Gupta and Oommen were addressing the upcoming challenge in form of roll out of 5G services in Bharat. Airtel and Jio have claimed to be conducting trials in Republic of india while Idea is likely to do good from its merger with Vodafone which has been a pioneer of 5G applied science on a global level.
But ane benefit that Jio enjoys over other operators is that it does not have to comport the baggage of outdated network protocols like 2G and 3G. Maintaining these services requires a lot of extra expenditure that Jio tin can easily evade considering it operates on a 4G-only network. Moreover, compelling existing customers to migrate to 4G has been another challenge for the incumbents, and is i of the main causes for the industry'south troubling debt.
