Airtel, along with other telcos like Jio and Vodafone Idea (Vi), is expected to begin its 5G rollout soon, following the completion of the 5G spectrum auction recently. Now ahead of this, we have some details regarding Airtel’s 5G plans, which are said to go easy on the pocket. Here are the details.
It is suggested that Airtel’s 5G plans won’t be expensive but won’t be new. The telecom operator is said to offer 5G services on its existing expensive 4G plans, as per Vice Chairman, Bharti Enterprises, Akhil Gupta’s statement to Mint.
Furthermore, Airtel and other telcos seek a higher average revenue per user (ARPU) this year. For those who don’t know, India is among the top 5 countries with the cheapest mobile data plan with the cost of $0.17 (~ Rs 14). Its ARPU was below Rs 200 in the April-June quarter this year.
