Telecom operator Vodafone Idea or Vi today announced that its subscribers could enjoy ZEE5 Premium subscription worth Rs 999 at no extra cost with a few prepaid plans. Vi now has five prepaid plans which ship with ZEE5 Premium subscription and they are priced at Rs 355, Rs 405, Rs 595, Rs 795 and Rs 2,595. It is a really good move from Vodafone Idea as ZEE5 has recently parted ways with Bharti Airtel. Also, the telco is providing ZEE5 Premium subscription and not the ZEE5 Club membership. So even if you purchase the basic Rs 355 data add-on plan, you will be eligible for a one-year ZEE5 Premium membership worth Rs 999.

Vodafone Idea ZEE5 Premium Prepaid Plans Detailed

According to the data available, the annual ZEE5 Premium membership is available with Vi data plan of Rs 355 and the Vi combo prepaid plans of Rs 405, Rs 595, Rs 795 and Rs 2,595. As for the benefits, the Rs 355 data plan offers 50GB of data for 28 days along with Rs 999 worth of ZEE5 Premium membership. Moving onto the Rs 405 plan, it is an unlimited combo plan with 90GB data benefit, unlimited voice calling to any network within India, 100 SMSes per day and ZEE5 Premium subscription. The validity of the Rs 405 plan is 28 days from the date of recharge.

The Rs 595 and Rs 795 prepaid plans offer 2GB data per day for 56 and 84 days, respectively. Lastly, we have the Rs 2595 plan which also offers the same 2GB data per day but for 365 days. The three Rs 595, Rs 795 and Rs 2,595 plans come with unlimited voice calling, 100 SMSes per day and ZEE5 Premium membership for one year.

At a time when smartphone brands are aggressively focusing on offering Disney+ Hotstar VIP membership, Vi made a nice move of shipping its prepaid plans with ZEE5 Premium subscription. Just a couple of days, we observed that Vi stopped offering ZEE5 benefit with its prepaid plans. However, it is now back with a slew of new plans which will surely attract a lot of consumers out there.

BSNL 4G Network Should be ‘Made in India’: DoT

Posted: 19 Sep 2020 12:26 AM PDT

This post first appeared on TelecomTalk Read more at: https://telecomtalk.info/bsnl-4g-network-made-in-india/298408/, BSNL 4G Network Should be 'Made in India': DoT

Everyone who has followed the telecom industry closely for a few years now wants BSNL to come out with its wide-scale 4G operations. This is because it will change the competition scenario in the market. Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has said that it doesn't want foreign companies manufacturing the 4G equipment and network for BSNL. The last 4G tender of BSNL got cancelled because of the border tensions between India and China. Now DoT is recommending that BSNL's 4G network should be built by local companies, according to an ET Telecom report. This would support the government's vision of 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat'. More on the story ahead.

BSNL 4G Network Can be Built Locally

This raises questions such as, will manufacturing 4G locally be more expensive or will it work the same efficient way it does with the equipment supplied by foreign companies? DoT has recommended that 20% of the equipment for the radio access networks (RANs) should be provided by the government.

More recommendations were made by DoT for the companies which will be seeking to bid for the BSNL 4G projects. The first recommendation was that the companies will have to provide the government with a proof of concept that they can do it. Proof of concept can be provided by showing the execution of the plans submitted for 4 months if the company doesn't have any prior experience.

The second recommendation was source code audits. DoT said that the code can be put in an escrow account and be compiled with non-proprietary compilers. The last recommendation by DoT was to put a stop on all the investments that are being made for 2G. BSNL shouldn't invest in an outdated technology anymore so that the resources and money can be used for growing the company in the right direction, which is towards 4G and 5G.

Talking about 5G, if BSNL and government can pull off this project of making 4G network locally in India with the help of Indian companies, then it will open paths for developing 5G infrastructure locally as well for the telco. Not only will it open paths for the future for BSNL, but it will change the whole existing market competition.
