Posted: 17 Aug 2021 12:48 PM PDT

Netgear Netgear has launched a new gaming router for its Indian customers. The company is best known for providing Wi-Fi solutions to consumers in India. Netgear has previously launched multiple gaming routers, and thus Indians have an idea about what they can expect from the company's products.

BSNL 4G Possible In Four Months In Two Zones, Needs Govt Approval

Posted: 17 Aug 2021 06:30 AM PDT

BSNL Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is working hard to ensure that its 4G networks are live as soon as possible. But the telco's plans for 4G haven't come without obstructions or challenges. The state-run operator believes that it can roll out live 4G networks in two zones of India, including the South and the West zone, in three to four months. As per a Financial Express report, all that the company needs is a nod from the government, but that isn't likely to come because of the security concerns that will arise.

BSNL Network Can't Be Upgraded Because of ZTE

For the unaware, the mobile networks of BSNL are primarily built by two vendors across the nation – ZTE and Nokia. The government is worried about upgrading the ZTE rolled out legacy networks to 4G because it would raise security concerns for the Indians connected to those networks. Since ZTE is a Chinese company and has not registered with the competent authorities, BSNL can't get permission to order upgradation of its equipment. PK Purwar, CMD, BSNL, wrote to the telecom secretary requesting his support with getting the government's approval for the upgradation request. In his letter that was obtained by FE, Purwar has explained that going with this simple upgradation process, BSNL can save hundreds of crores in capex for rolling out 4G services. Further, it won't even take much time and would be done in about three to four months which can prove to be the deal-breaker for the telco's future in India. The government, on the other hand, doesn't want a Chinese presence on its networks. It is understandable, but this puts BSNL in a very grim situation, and it can do nothing but hope that it will get the support of the government on every decision it is making. It is worth noting that South Zone is one of the biggest contributors to revenue for BSNL's mobile services.

Vi, Airtel Tariff Hikes Will Aid Industry Financially

Posted: 17 Aug 2021 04:18 AM PDT

Tariff Hikes The recent tariff hikes by private telecom operators are elevating the financial position of the Indian telecom industry. The tariff hike for prepaid and postpaid services by Bharti Airtel is aimed to increase ARPU from Rs 200 to Rs 300. Gopal Vittal, Chief Executive Officer of Airtel, recently marked that the ARPUs in India are significantly low, and the return on capital for companies is in the low single-digit. As reported by ET Telecom, the tariff hikes have already started showing positive results in terms of revenue for the industry.

JioPhone Might Cause Delay in Next Round of Tariff Hikes

The renowned company Jefferies revealed that the sector revenue growth would be pick up, led by tariff hike from private telecom operators Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel. The analysts also reported that the launch of JioPhone might push the next round of tariff hikes. The renowned telco, Vodafone Idea has raised the rates of 2G services in nearly 13 to 14 circles. It is expected that the tariff hike by the telco will go nationwide in the coming months. The distressed balance sheets of Vodafone Idea will pump the market share of Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio.

Reliance Jio Reported Highest Revenue Growth

The first quarter of the current fiscal year turned out to be beneficial for Reliance Jio. The telco recorded the highest revenue growth at 4% QoQ, while Bharti Airtel recorded 2% QoQ growth. Vodafone Idea, on the other side, reported a 5% QoQ decline. Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel gained 120bps and 60bps market share vs FY21, respectively, whereas Vodafone Idea lost 180bps to 19% during 1Q. Strategically, Bharti Airtel overpowered all the telcos on operating metrics and recorded the highest average data and voice usage. It is also speculated that the recent expansion and investments towards broadband sites will further drive the market share gains for Bharti Airtel. Since Vodafone Idea witnessed a reduction in 4G subscribers, the operating metrics were weak. The data traffic of Vodafone Idea was increased by 13% QoQ in 1Q, whereas Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio recorded 17% QoQ and 22% QoQ. Even though Reliance Jio recorded healthy revenue growth, it continues to see limited benefits of operating leverage that is leading to low margins.

Posted: 17 Aug 2021 12:55 AM PDT

Realme Realme is extensively launching smartphones in different markets to expand its smartphone market share. In the latest development, the company is gearing up to launch the Realme GT 5G in the Indian market on August 18. There has been a lot of noise around the specifications and pricing of the smartphone.

Alongside Realme GT 5G, the Realme GT Master Edition will also be launched in the Indian market.

Realme GT 5G Will Compete Against Mi 11x Pro and iQOO 7 Legend

Vodafone Idea Relief Package from Govt Dependent on Promoters

Posted: 17 Aug 2021 12:43 AM PDT

Vodafone Idea Vodafone Idea is eagerly waiting for the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to come out with a relief package for the telecom sector that might set things straight for the company. However, everyone, including the government, knows that the relief package isn't alone going to ensure the survival of the company. According to an ET Telecom report, the government wants to understand the plans of the promoters of the company, which includes the Aditya Birla Group and the Vodafone group. Further, the government wants the promoters to infuse further capital in the company to see their commitment which is not a wrong thing to ask.

Vodafone Idea Promoters Lack of Interest Giving the Company Up

Both the promoters have expressed that they are not further willing to help Vodafone Idea in any financial capacity whatsoever. The promoters are just looking for an outside investor to tie up their money into the company to keep their risk exposure at the current levels and possibly reduce it in the near future by selling a stake of the company. The telco had reported a loss of Rs 7,319 crore in the first quarter of FY22, which is more than the preceding quarter. As the government prepares a relief package for the sector, it seeks to understand the plans of the promoters. This will help the government in deciding whether the relief package is worth it or not. Because with the relief package alone, the company won't survive for long. It is only a short-term measure to let Vodafone Idea keep running. The main thing is to see what the company's plans are for the next two years, which are going to be very crucial for its future. The lack of interest that the promoters have shown in infusing any more capital into the company just doesn't project any confidence for the outside world. It further makes it seem like the promoters don't think the company's worth it anymore.

WhatsApp Lets You Add Payments Backgrounds For Personalised Money Transfer

Posted: 17 Aug 2021 12:01 AM PDT

WhatsApp Among the new features introduced by WhatsApp is the Payments Backgrounds for its users in India. As its name suggests, this feature is related to the payments section in the instant messaging platform. It lets you customize the payments experience by adding a relevant background while making money transfers using WhatsApp Payments. Notably, the Payments Backgrounds feature is live for both Android and iPhone users in India. It lets you add an element of expression as you send money to your loved ones via the Facebook-owned instant messaging app. This is an extension to the WhatsApp Payments feature that went live last year after gaining approval from NPCI. Initially, the instant messaging platform has rolled out seven backgrounds and you can choose one of these backgrounds while you send money to your family and friends. Some of these are theme-backed including the background that can be used while sending money to your sister on account of Raksha Bandhan. Also, there are backgrounds that can be chosen while sending payments on holidays, birthdays, and for travel.

How To Add Payment Background On WhatsApp

If you want to add a payment background on WhatsApp that will come active when you make a new payment, you need to follow the steps detailed below. Step 1: Tap the chat window of the contact to whom you wish to send the money to. Step 2: Key in the amount you want to send to the person. Step 3: Tap the Background icon in the Send Payment screen. Step 4: You will get a list of all available backgrounds. Scroll the list and choose the option that you feel is relevant. Step 5: It also lets you add a payment message or note or tap X to dismiss the option. That's it! You can now change the amount or add a description after choosing a payments background. By doing so, the recipient will get the amount and will also be able to see the background you have chosen. Notably, adding a payments background will not leave an impact on the background of your chat. This makes it clear that WhatsApp is trying to attract more users towards its UPI-based payments option with the Payments Backgrounds feature.

WhatsApp Update: New Features You Must Try

Posted: 16 Aug 2021 10:51 PM PDT

WhatsApp WhatsApp, the instant messaging app owned by Facebook has introduced many new features for its users of late. Some common features rolled out to both Android and iOS users are View Once, multi-device support, the ability to join ongoing calls with an invite and more. These features will let users get a better experience with WhatsApp. If you are not aware, here is a list of some new features added to the platform.

View Once

This is a feature that originated in Snapchat and the other social media platforms followed suit. It lets users send View Once aka disappearing photos and videos that the recipient can view only once before they vanish. So, if users send such a media file, then it will be deleted after the recipient has opened and viewed them once. It can be used for sending sensitive or temporary information such as passports but recipients can take screenshots and save the information.

Chat Transfer Between Android and iOS

Another useful feature is the ability to transfer chats between Android and iOS and vice versa. You can use the Smart Switch feature to backup the WhatsApp chat history and files and transfer these to any device irrespective of the OS.

Multi-Device Support

Recently, WhatsApp hit the headlines as it introduced the support to use the instant messaging platform on multiple PCs and laptops sans the necessity to mirror it from the primary smartphone. Besides this, WhatsApp Web already lets users connect their phone to the internet and use the messaging platform on their laptop or PC.

Joinable Calls

This is yet another new and interesting feature rolled out to WhatsApp for Android and iOS. Users can join an ongoing voice or video call after the call has begun. Similar to Google Meet and Zoom video conferencing tools, people who miss a group voice or video call on WhatsApp will be allowed to join it anytime as long as it is going on. Until the rollout this feature, users had to hang up and restart the call to let in new participants. Have you tried these new WhatsApp features? If not, you can update the app on your Android or iOS device to the latest version to enjoy these features.

Vodafone Idea Will Stay Persistent With AGR Dues Petitions

Posted: 16 Aug 2021 09:59 PM PDT

Vodafone Idea Vodafone Idea (Vi) Managing Director (MD), Ravinder Takkar, said the company would file for a 'curative petition' in case its 'review petition' is rejected. For the unaware, a 'review petition' is a petition that an aggrieved party can submit if it believes there is an error in the judgement made by the Supreme Court. The 'curative petition', on the other hand, is a petition that is filed after the review petition is rejected, and the purpose of it is to question whether the aggrieved party is entitled to any relief against the judgement made by the apex court.

Vodafone Idea And Its Never-Ending AGR Troubles

Vodafone Idea (Vi) has been in a tough spot for ages now and the adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues added to the burden. On top of that, the telco believes that there are errors in the AGR calculations made by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). It is not just Vi, but also Bharti Airtel and Tata Teleservices, which believe the same and had filed a petition for the same in the SC. All the petitions were rejected last month when the SC said that it wouldn't allow for any recalculation. The purpose of the review petition filed by Vodafone Idea is to communicate to the SC that the telco didn't question the court's judgement and is ready to adhere to it. However, the telco wants the court to know that there were errors made by the DoT while assessing the amount, and Vi is only requesting for those errors to be corrected. As per an ET Telecom report, Takkar said the company hopes that it doesn't come to a point where it will have to file a curative petition. Last week, Vodafone Idea had said that it is 'inconceivable' that the SC is not considering the telcos' requests for asking the DoT to rectify the errors.

Airtel, Jio Among Others Show Keen Interest in BharatNet Project

Posted: 16 Aug 2021 09:01 PM PDT

Airtel Jio Both Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio, among other private companies, have shown keen interest in being a part of the BharatNet project's second phase. For the unaware, the BharatNet project is aimed at providing broadband connectivity to Indians around the country, which includes remote and rural regions. It is an initiative launched by the government that wants to ensure that internet connectivity is offered to the citizens of India on a non-discriminatory basis. As per an ET Telecom report, the private operators weren't interested too much in the first phase of BharatNet because they didn't get a clear idea about the quantum of viability gap funding (VGF) for each project package for separate regions. But this time, the government has ensured that the VGF for each project package for separate regions is clear for the private companies. This has pushed the interest of the companies into being a part of the BharatNet project.

Why Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel Become Good Contenders?

One rule of the government for the project is that the company which is the successful bidder would be required to build, operate, and manage the network under the BharatNet project for the next 30 years. Thus, there is no question that the government would want a company that is backed by a huge private group or has a proven financial history in India to be working on the project. This makes Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel top contenders for the project. Both the companies are expected to stay in the market for a long time as the entry of a new operator is unlikely to happen right now, and other telecom operators aren't going to survive for long if their situation doesn't improve in the near future. It is worth noting that there are other companies in the mix as well which are Tata Group-backed. Even these companies have a good chance of scoring the project.

Reliance Jio Bundled Service Might Change the Game

Posted: 16 Aug 2021 08:29 PM PDT

Reliance Jio Reliance Jio is currently the number one telecom operator in India. The telco has come at the top because of offering the most benefits for the least price. Jio and Airtel both have different ways of managing their business and looking at their customers. Jio is more of everyone's company, while Airtel leans towards only 'premium' customers. Bharti Airtel has an ecosystem of products that has helped it survive the challenges that arrived when Jio came to the market. There are homes in India where everything, including a Direct-to-Home (DTH) connection, mobile connection, and broadband connection, is of Airtel. To ease the pain of customers paying multiple bills for different services from the same company, Bharti Airtel launched its 'One Airtel' plans followed by 'Airtel Black'. Both are bundled service offerings from the company. If Reliance Jio were to do this, it would change the game.

Reliance Jio Broadband Arm JioFiber Already Offers STB With Broadband

Reliance Jio already offers a free Set-Top Box (STB) with the JioFiber connections to users all over India. The telco only needs to offer new plans where it would bundle a postpaid/prepaid connection with the JioFiber plans. It would change the game for the telco. There are many homes that are already consuming mobile services from Reliance Jio and have a JioFiber connection with an STB as well. To bundle all of this together and offer it for a little less price would help Jio retain old customers but also add new ones in the near to medium future. One of the biggest advantages of offering a bundled service is that users start getting used to the ecosystem of products/services that a company is building. Reliance Jio can add more things to its bundle, such as applications and over-the-top (OTT) benefits which will make things more interesting for the users. All in all, a bundled service from Reliance Jio like that of Bharti Airtel would be refreshing to see. Jio can also offer users to make custom plans like Airtel is doing with Airtel Black. There are multiple things that can be done once a user is locked into the ecosystem. Further, the company can announce priority customer care support for people who are purchasing bundled services from the company. Note that there's no official word or even a hint from the company that it is doing this.

Bharti Airtel Rs 1599 Postpaid Plan Better than Vi Rs 1699 Plan

Posted: 16 Aug 2021 06:30 PM PDT

Bharti Airtel Both Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi) offer their customers a high-end postpaid plan. These postpaid plans come with multiple benefits and a lot of data to allow users to get the best out of their smartphone experience. Vodafone Idea had recently announced new REDX postpaid plans, which are a class apart from anything that the other companies are offering. But there's a big condition that Vi's new REDX plans have, which Bharti Airtel's high-end plans don't. Today, I will be comparing the Bharti Airtel Rs 1,599 and Vi's Rs 1,699 postpaid plan to show you which one is a better option.

Bharti Airtel Rs 1,599 Postpaid Plan

Firstly, let's look at Bharti Airtel's Rs 1,599 plan. The company offers it to users with 500GB of monthly data along with 100 SMS/day and truly unlimited voice calling. There is a data rollover facility available, and customers also get multiple over-the-top (OTT) benefits which include Amazon Prime Video, Airtel Xstream, Disney+ Hotstar VIP, and other Airtel Thanks benefits. Users further get 200 minutes of ISD voice calling and 10% off on the IR packs. Let's move on to the Vodafone Idea's Rs 1,699 postpaid plan now.

Vodafone Idea Rs 1,699 Postpaid Plan

Vodafone Idea Rs 1,699 postpaid plan offers users unlimited data with unlimited voice calling and 3,000 SMS/day. There are OTT benefits of Netflix (annual subscription worth Rs 5,988) along with Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar VIP, and Vi Movies & TV included. Users further get 7 days of iRoamFree pack worth Rs 2,999 without any additional cost, which will let them make calls from international locations. This REDX plan also offers users complimentary access to the airport lounges. REDX plan users also get priority help from the company through a virtual relationship manager.

Why Is Bharti Airtel's Plan Better Than Vodafone Idea’s Plan?

Vodafone Idea charges users a Rs 3,000 exit fee if they port out of Vodafone Idea or migrate from the postpaid plan to any other plan in the first six months. So there's a six month lock-in period that the customers need to see through before they can change their plan. This kind of condition is not applicable to the Rs 1,599 plan offered by Airtel. Airtel's plan doesn't give Netflix or Airport lounge access, but it also doesn't force users to stay on the network even if they don't like its services. This is a hidden cost of the Vodafone Idea’s Rs 1,699 REDX postpaid plan, which makes Bharti Airtel's plan a better option.
