The telecommunications branch of Reliance Industries would soon launch as Reliance Jio, with 4G services and many other benefits. With massive promotions around the brand and its soon-to-be launch, the team of Jan Ki Baat tries to get the public┬Тs response to Jio. Many of whom were interviewed were extremely enthusiastic about Jio┬Тs arrival in the telecom market. With services like free voice-calling and zero roaming charges, Jio┬Тs penned down as a gamechanger, both in the infotech sector and the telecom one. Those who were skeptic had valid reasons of their own, too: rates, schemes and affordability would ultimately judge Jio┬Тs power; blindly trusting Jio would be foolish; Jio┬Тs not compatible with many smartphones. The tariff, post the first 3 months, is actually not known and Jio┬Тs SIM actually required a different model for its to work smoothly.
Mukesh Ambabi, the chairperson of Reliance Industries, would enter the telecom world with his Jio, a network that┬Тs imagined to be one which would change the future of data services in India. Customers would be paying, after the 3 month free period, only for data as voice-calling would be made free. With many other appealing schemes, it has been touted as a strong competition for the existing networks
Jio, if it works, would actually be a mini-IT revolution and would change the public perception of the idea of cellular network. Reliance, has roped in many celebrities to vouch for Jio. Would it pay off?
