This news came out a few days back, Govt working on proposal to waive a substantial portion of AGR dues: Sources. This will help stop the duopoly of Jio and Airtel in the current telecom market. BSNL 5G will be launched this year a lot of rural users of Jio and Airtel will shift and port their numbers to BSNL because of the network coverage.
Even if BSNL comes out with 5G plans do you think they will be able to match the speeds of Airtel or Jio ?
I think the speed will be comparatively very slow than what Airtel and Jio offers.
Speed may not be that priority cause even if the BSNL come up with 10 or 20% of Jio speed still people can prefer the BSNL because of the economical packs but the problem with BSNL is poor customer service and unstable network connectivity even in the main places. If BSNL wants to enter the game, they need to strengthen their network capability to handle more traffic.
