Channels such as &TV HD, StarPlus HD, ZEETV HD, ZEE Cinema HD and more are available for the users.

OnePlus Anticipated to Launch Two TWS Earbuds, Smartwatch, and Fitness Band Soon Posted: 25 Jun 2022 08:09 AM PDT OnePlus has already introduced a number of devices and has the OnePlus 10T on the way, 2022 is going to be busy for OnePlus. According to a recent disclosure from tipster Mukul Sharma, the brand is also paying attention to the AIoT market. Sharma claims that the company intends to introduce the two TWS earphones, a OnePlus Watch, and a fitness band. The latter two are reportedly the OnePlus Watch and OnePlus Band sequels that were introduced back in March 2021. One of the TWS earbuds will be sold under the Nord brand, and the other will be sold under the OnePlus name. The OnePlus TWS model, according to our speculation, will be reasonably priced, while the other model might be a more expensive model, akin to the OnePlus Buds Pro. According to Mukul, the launch may coincide with the release of a few OnePlus smartphones in Q3. OnePlus is preparing two TWS earbuds, Watch 2 and Band 2 It appears that OnePlus is getting ready to dominate the industry and provide consumers with a variety of options. In terms of smartphones, OnePlus is also rebranding the OPPO A57 and Reno 8 Pro in addition to the CPH2455 and CPH2413, two additional OPPO devices. We think that the company is preparing to introduce a variety of phones in the upcoming months, which should enable the brand to rank among the top five smartphone manufacturers in the nation. Xiaomi, Samsung, Realme, OPPO, and Vivo are now dominating the list. OnePlus Nord Buds The 12.4mm dynamic drivers and Dolby Atmos audio with support for custom equalisers are the features of the OnePlus Nord Buds. The earbuds have two microphones inside for calls, but they don't have active noise cancellation. Additionally, they come with Bluetooth v5.2 for communications and 94ms low-latency mode for gaming. The Nord Buds' battery life is up to 7 hours on a single charge and 30 hours when used in conjunction with the charging case. Not only that, they feature an IP55 designation for water and dust protection, which is always a plus.

5G Will Boost Connection Density Per Square Kilometre Posted: 25 Jun 2022 08:03 AM PDT India is soon going to see its dream of 5G networks launching come true. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) had set the ball rolling a few days back by releasing the Notice Inviting Application (NIA) for the 5G spectrum auction. As soon as the telcos get the spectrum from the DoT, they will get right into the race for launching the first commercial 5G network in India. Ahead of the 5G launch, there are a lot of talks about how it is going to help India. One thing that we can be sure of is that 5G is going to increase the connection density per square kilometre. In simple words, this is a measure of how many mobile connections can a network technology support in a given square kilometre. 5G vs 4G: Connection Density When we talk about connections per square kilometre, 5G will be able to support 10x more connections than 4G. "Right now, 4G can offer only 1 lakh connections per square kilometre. This can go 10x with 5G, which is a million connections per square kilometre and it has got 20x higher bandwidth. Even the latencies are going to be very low," Sandeep Lodha, Co-Founder, Netweb Technologies told TelecomTalk. Speaking on what the government is doing to boost electronics manufacturing in India, Lodha said, "The government is taking the right steps. Today, if you see, the government has come out with a PLI scheme and this is a very nicely drafted scheme." Lodha appreciated the fact that PLI schemes are actually geared towards generating returns for the Indian economy in a very tangible manner. Talking about the employment scenario in India, Lodha said that there is a shortage of skilled labour in the country. He said that Indians are actively considering working at Netweb because of the learning opportunities that they will get with the company despite no MNC-like status.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) Might Feature Hearing Aid Function Posted: 25 Jun 2022 06:09 AM PDT Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) is reportedly getting ready to launch with a variety of capabilities, including a USB Type-C connector, a hearing aid function, and heart rate detection. In addition to the features, the business revealed potential renders of the Cupertino tech giants' rumoured headphones. The design, which is identical to its predecessor and was hinted at in an earlier report, is consistent with this new render. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) specifications and features (rumoured) An earlier report has claimed that the upcoming Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) True Wireless Stereo headphones would have a style that is comparable to the AirPods Pro they are said to replace. The article said that the future generation AirPods Pro will include a stem, contradicting earlier reports of a seamless design. This will be done to continue the AirPods Pro's tradition of innovation. In addition, the source stated that Apple has chosen not to include dual optical detect sensors on the rumoured earphones. The H1 SoC in the AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) will provide self-adaptive active noise suppression and an enhanced Find My functionality, according to a report from 52Audio. Heart rate monitoring and a USB Type-C connection for quick charging and improved compatibility are two new Apple headphone features. Additionally, hearing aid functionality should be included with the earbuds. This function enables users with hearing impairments to use their headphones as hearing aid. The AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) heart rate detection feature would also track body temperature by collecting and analysing information from the wearer's inner ear. According to reports, the earphones will have similar acoustic properties to AirPods (3rd Gen), including self-adaptive equalisation, spatial audio for dynamic hand tracking, and audio sharing. According to the publication's renderings, a USB Type-C port with several openings on each of its sides will be present on the charging case for the earbuds. It's possible to see a metal piece covering the two larger apertures on the right side. A bottom-mounted speaker that can play sounds on its own and is compatible with the Find My app will likely be included with the charging case.

Google Pixel 7 Pro Might Feature Brighter Display Than Its Predecessor Posted: 25 Jun 2022 03:11 AM PDT In addition to the Goggle Pixel Foldable smartphone, the Google Pixel 7 series is expected to appear in Q4 2022. It has been rumoured that Samsung's new S6E3HC4 display may be used in the Pixel 7 Pro. According to reports, the Samsung S6E3HC3 screen used in the Pixel 6 Pro offers a resolution of 1,440 by 3,120 pixels, just like this latest panel. However, it appears from the source code for Android 13 beta that it will have a brighter display than its predecessor. Let's find out more about this upcoming smartphone. More about the Google Pixel 7 Pro The brightness of the Pixel 7 Pro is anticipated to surpass 1,000 nits in Auto mode, above the 800 nits provided by the Pixel 6 Pro. It should be noted that these specifications are for an all-white, 100% Average Picture Level (APL), display. Displays typically have a lower APL when in regular use. According to the tip, the Pixel 7 Pro's display might reach 1,200 nits of brightness under typical conditions. According to tipster Mishaal Rahman (@MishaalRahman), the Pixel 7 Pro's display could be brighter than the Pixel 6 Pro's in both normal and high brightness levels if it uses the Samsung S6E3HC4 panel. The rumoured Google smartphone is said to have a display that can reach 600 nits in Manual mode, which is 100 nits brighter than the 500 nits of its predecessor. The tipster also mentions that the S6E3HC4 panel might offer HDR10 and HLG imagery. For better battery efficiency, it is anticipated to have a native Full-HD mode. A refresh rate of 10Hz to 120Hz should be available on the Pixel 7 Pro. Additionally, prior sources have indicated that the Pixel 7 Pro, code-named "Cheetah," may feature an improved display. It also suggests the possibility of a second-generation Google Tensor SoC powering this device.

Apple Offering Free AirPods With MacBook Air M2 and More Posted: 25 Jun 2022 12:44 AM PDT Apple is giving users in India free AirPods with multiple products, including MacBook Air M2. This is the 'Back to School' offer rolled out by the company under which people purchasing the products will not only get discounts but will also get free AirPods. The offer has already gone live on Apple's India Online Store. Note that this offer is not given by the Authorised Resellers. From the local Authorised Resellers, you can get student discounts, but not the 'Back to School' offer that Apple directly offers. Let's take a look at the details of the offer. Apple 'Back to School' Offer Details Apple is giving its Back to School offer to Indians on multiple products, including iPad Air 5th Gen, iPad Pro 11-inch 3rd Gen, iPad Pro 13-inch 5th Gen, MacBook Air M1, MacBook Air M2, MacBook Pro M2, and iMac 24-inch with M1 chip. All of these products are available at a discounted rate under the offer. You can get a discount of up to Rs 10,000 on the Mac products. The other benefits are, of course, free AirPods, Apple Music for six months, and a 20% discount on Apple Care+. Customers can also upgrade to the AirPods 3rd Generation for Rs 6,400 and AirPods Pro for Rs 12,200. Note that these offers are only applicable to students. Apple’s website says the offers are also included on the MacBook Pro 16-inch and MacBook Pro 14-inch, but that wouldn't make a lot of sense for a majority of the students. These new MacBook Pro models are super expensive and will likely not be used to their potential by the students as they are more geared towards professional needs. If you have a University ID, you can make the purchase through Apple's Online Store for India to get the 'Back to School' offer. The IANS report suggests that the offer will be there between June 24 to September 22, 2022.

Jio, Vi and Airtel to Get Help for Dynamic Spectrum Sharing from TRAI Posted: 24 Jun 2022 09:58 PM PDT Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, and Vodafone Idea (Vi), the top three private telecom operators in India, have had a very constrained journey because of the uneasy policy environment in the telecom sector. However, all that is changing now. The telcos are getting plenty of help from the government, and the policies are evolving to help the sector. Spectrum sharing has been a topic that has not been too focused on. But it is an important aspect of the business as telcos spend thousands of crores on acquiring these airwaves. The telecom companies have always wanted better terms and capabilities for sharing unused airwaves with their competitors. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) will soon release a new consultation paper on dynamic spectrum sharing, reports ET. This would be to allow the telcos to monetise airwaves acquired through the auction and remove scenarios of the idle spectrum. Dynamic Spectrum Sharing is a Kind of Leasing So, there's a difference between dynamic spectrum sharing and spectrum trading. With the dynamic spectrum sharing, the companies are kind of leasing the airwaves to the others on a real-time basis, allowing intra-circle rights. Right now, the telcos can only share airwaves that both the operators have and are already using in the circle. This is not leasing. TRAI is reportedly looking to change that and is seeking recommendations from the industry and its stakeholders. This would enable operators such as Vodafone Idea (Vi) to increase revenues by leasing airwaves to their competitors. The new framework would be a booster for the revenues of the telecom industry. It might also result in fewer scenarios of spectrum surrendering, which the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has allowed now. DSS would actually be a new revenue stream completely, and the telcos will be definitely happy to hear this. Since the spectrum is a finite and scarce resource, it is the duty of the regulators and the government to ensure that it is not getting wasted.

POCO X4 GT Goes Official With MediaTek Dimensity 8100 SoC Posted: 24 Jun 2022 07:25 AM PDT Along with the POCO F4 5G, the POCO X4 GT has been formally revealed worldwide. This smartphone is essentially a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 11T Pro, which is available only in China. With a MediaTek chip, a high refresh rate display, and support for extremely rapid charging, the product debuts as a luxury mid-range smartphone. So let's look at what the device has to offer. POCO X4 GT specifications and features The device comes with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels on a 6.6-inch IPS LCD panel. The display features Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, a 144Hz refresh rate, and 650nits of brightness. The front camera punch hole is centred in the panel, which also has thin bezels surrounding it. The display's 1 billion colour options, DC dimming, and Dolby Vision certification are its most remarkable features. The smartphone is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipset paired with Mali-610 MC6 GPU. The company has made the device available with 256GB of storage and up to 8GB of RAM. The smartphone uses Advanced Liquid-cool technology 2.0 for thermal management, which has seven graphite sheet layers for heat dispersion. The X4 GT is backed by a 5,080mAh battery unit that supports 67W fast charging, according to which the phone can be fully charged in only 46 minutes. Talking about the camera specifications, the smartphone has a triple rear camera setup with a 64MP Samsung ISOCELL GW1 primary sensor, a secondary 2MP macro camera and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens with a 120-degree field of view. Aside from that, the smartphone sports a 3.5mm headphone socket, twin stereo speakers, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, an X-axis linear motor for haptics, and Hi-Res audio certification.

Apple iPhone 15 Might Resemble the iPhone 14 to Some Extent Posted: 24 Jun 2022 05:37 AM PDT The iPhone lineups for 2022 and 2023 may share several features, according to a recent report. While Apple is getting ready to introduce its iPhone 14 series later this year, we have already reported on rumours regarding the iPhone 15 that will debut the following year. Not only that according to the most recent report, which comes from Omdia (via PhoneArena), the iPhone 15 lineup will have comparable display specifications to the upcoming iPhone 14 series. More about the iPhone 15 Unbeknownst to some, the iPhone 14 Pro series is anticipated to eventually do away with its pronounced notch on the front in favour of two cutouts for the Face ID sensors and the selfie camera. And it seems that the front design of the iPhone 15 range will be comparable as well. Notably, unlike the iPhone 14 series, this will also offer a base model at a lower price point. The Cupertino-based company is reportedly planning to launch its iPhones with identical display sizes for the next two years, according to this claim. It's interesting to note that the Omdia analysis also noted that Apple is lagging behind competitor smartphone manufacturers in terms of Face ID and under-display cameras. These features are most likely to launch around the iPhone 16 series. Remember that the iPhone 15 won't be released for quite some time, so for the time being, you should take this report with a grain of salt. To recall the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models are anticipated to have 6.1-inch displays, while the iPhone 14 Pro variants are anticipated to have 6.7-inch displays. Additionally, the price of the iPhone 14 series will vary. The price of Apple's products remained the same as the iPhone 12 series when the iPhone 13 series was announced the previous year.

Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea Stocks Performed Well on Friday Posted: 24 Jun 2022 03:52 AM PDT Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi), two listed private telecom operators in India have performed well on stock exchanges on Friday close. Both the telcos' stocks were trading fairly lower compared to where they were a few months back. Bharti Airtel's stock closed at Rs 671.20 which is 1.67% up from the previous close of Rs 660.20. Airtel's stock had touched a daily high of Rs 675.70. An uptick of Rs 10 in a single day is something Airtel would gladly take. Vodafone Idea's stock closed at Rs 8.75 which is 2.34% up from its previous close of Rs 8.55. Before closing at Rs 8.75 on Friday, the stock touched a daily high of Rs 8.80. Vodafone Idea's Stock Benefited from Capital Raise Approval and AGR Deferment Vodafone Idea's board announced that it would be raising Rs 436 crore from its current largest promoter – Vodafone Group UK. In addition to this, the telco's board said that it will be opting for the deferment of AGR (adjusted gross revenue) related dues worth Rs 8,837 crore. The telco will be paying the said amount in six instalments after March 31, 2026. Further, the equity conversion process for the government in the telco should be done soon which would help Vi in getting rid of interest dues amounting to Rs 16,000 crore. Bharti Airtel's business performance has been impressive for the last two years. The telco has been continuously adding new active mobile subscribers and its average revenue per user (ARPU) is the highest in the industry. Airtel is expected to benefit from the future tariff hikes and the telco has seen growth in subsidiaries including broadband, online banking (Airtel Payments Bank), Nxtra (data center business) and more. Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi) would both want to keep the momentum going and bring users an uptick in the stock price. However, Monday's pretty far away and no one knows for sure how the stocks of the telcos will perform in the new week.

Samsung Galaxy M52 5G Price Reduced by Rs 9000 Posted: 24 Jun 2022 03:30 AM PDT On September 29th of last year, Samsung released the Galaxy M52 5G in India at a price of Rs 29,999. However, the smartphone has received a discount of Rs 9,000 on the Reliance Digital store, making it much more affordable at Rs 20,999. The price of the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G is now the lowest we have seen. The smartphone includes a triple-back camera and a 120Hz Super AMOLED Plus display. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G octa-core SoC powers the device. Its rivals include the iQoo Z5 and Realme GT Master Edition smartphones. At this price, the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G represents a fantastic value. Samsung Galaxy M52 5G specifications The dual-SIM smartphone comes with a 6.7-inch full-HD+ (1,080 x 2,400 pixels) Super AMOLED Plus display with a 20:9 aspect ratio and up to 120Hz refresh rate. There is a Snapdragon 778G SoC paired with up to 8GB of RAM on the device. Talking about the camera specifications, the smartphone has a triple rear camera configuration with a 64MP primary sensor, a 12MP wide-angle shooter and a 5MP macro shooter. For taking selfies and video calls the device has a 32MP camera sensor at the front. The device is available at one of its lowest prices right now. Of course, there could be a price difference when you purchase the smartphone from other retail channels. Being a 5G smartphone, it could be a good buy for conservative money spenders as it is available for Rs 20,000 only. There are many other options available as well when we look at the 5G devices in this price range. It’s almost a year since the launch of the device so of course, its resale value has also come down. This price reduction is a good strategy from Reliance Digital to attract more Samsung buyers towards its way. OnePlus Nord CE 2 is also a strong contender for this smartphone from Samsung.

Vodafone Idea Will Not be Controlled by Govt in Any Manner Posted: 24 Jun 2022 02:11 AM PDT Vodafone Idea (Vi) is soon going to give the Indian government equity against the interest dues worth Rs 16,133 crore. Vi was the only telco to go ahead with this option, and it makes sense because the telco wasn't making money. Bharti Airtel, on the other hand, was in a position where it was generating free cash flows and deleveraging as fast as possible and thus didn't require to give the centre any equity against the removal of dues. According to a CNBC-TV18 report, Vodafone Idea Limited's equity conversion for the government is going to happen soon. This would make the Indian government the biggest shareholder in the telco. But there's one thing you should know. Vi won't be controlled by the government. Vodafone Idea is Not Giving Board Seats to Government The Indian government will not be getting any board seats for its stake in Vodafone Idea. The stake that will be offered to the government will be in the nature of what is given to the general public. Back in 2021 as well, the Indian government had clarified that it doesn't want to intervene in the business process of Vodafone Idea. Thus, the business will keep running the way it is but just with fewer issues and liabilities. Vodafone Idea is currently in the process of raising Rs 436 crore from its current largest promoter – Vodafone Group UK. The stakes of the Aditya Birla Group (ABG) and the Vodafone Group UK would go down significantly once the telco gives away its stake to the central government. Vi had proposed earlier that the government will get an equity stake of 35.8% in the company against the interest dues in concern. Livemint had reported that the centre would soon hire a transaction advisor who will work with the finance ministry and the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to determine how much stake the government would get in the company.

Vodafone Idea Is Looking for Someone to Help with Increasing Prepaid Revenues Posted: 24 Jun 2022 12:06 AM PDT Vodafone Idea (Vi) is continuously trying to grow average revenue per user (ARPU) to maximise revenues from mobile business. The telco is currently looking for a prepaid marketing specialist for the Punjab Cluster. The candidate applying for the job needs to know that the location of the job is Mohali. Anandaraman Srinivasan is the hiring manager for the job post. In the JD (job description), Vi said that it is an M2-level position. The purpose of the job is to manage and grow prepaid revenue business for the Punjab cluster/circle by effective acquisition and user retention strategies. Vodafone Idea Looking to fill Prepaid Marketing Position for Punjab Circle The job post from the company said that 80% of the circle revenue dependency is on the prepaid business. Thus, the role of the prepaid specialist becomes critical as the company looks to penetrate further into priority markets. The candidate will have to drive and monitor the ARPU and also drive recovery from a decaying user base. But there are a few requirements for the job that the candidate must fulfil. The person must hold an MBA degree from a reputed college with 5+ years of experience. Further, the person applying must have exposure to 121/CVM process handling. There is no pay scale mentioned in the job post. It is basically a marketing job for the prepaid segment. Vodafone Idea has driven quite a few unique campaigns around the prepaid mobile business. But the telco has not been able to generate any positive returns because of the stiff competition in the Indian market between the private telcos. If you are interested in the job, you can reach out to Vodafone Idea Limited by going to its LinkedIn profile and searching for the job under the 'Jobs' category on the company's page. You can directly apply for the work from there.

BSNL Broadband Pack You Must Not Ignore Posted: 23 Jun 2022 10:07 PM PDT Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has been one of the top and most popular internet service providers (ISPs) in the country. The state-run telco has reached deep pockets with its broadband services over the years. Now, through the Bharat Fibre brand, the telco is trying to increase its presence in the fiber broadband market as well. If you are considering buying a broadband pack from BSNL, then here's one plan that you must not ignore. BSNL Broadband Plan Which Offers Up to 300 Mbps Speed and 4TB of Data The plan that we are talking about costs Rs 1,499 (taxes not included) and offers 300 Mbps speed to the users. The internet speed for both downloading and uploading is symmetrical. Along with this, users also get up to 4TB of fair-usage-policy (FUP) data every month. This is more than what you will get from the private operators. Additionally, there's an OTT (over-the-top) benefit of Disney+ Hotstar Premium bundled for the users. Note that the actual cost of Disney+ Hotstar Premium is Rs 1,499 per year. But here, you get it at no extra cost. BSNL also offers users a free fixed-line connection for making calls. But the telephone equipment needs to be purchased by the client itself. The state-run telco will offer a 90% discount of up to Rs 500 on the first month's bill to the users. Thus, getting a new connection and this plan would be a very pocket-friendly affair for the consumers. BSNL also offers other 300 Mbps plans. These plans, however, don't offer any OTT benefits and cost more per month. The reason why they cost more is that they bring more FUP data. With the Rs 2499 and Rs 4499 plans, users get 5TB and 6.5TB of monthly data. These plans are suitable for large organisations or libraries where a ton of people connect with the internet daily. Even the speeds after consumption of FUP data are decent with these high-priced plans.

iPhone 13 Series Dominates Global Smartphone Market in April 2022 Posted: 23 Jun 2022 09:33 PM PDT Apple's iPhone 13 series has become a megahit for the company. It is arguably one of the most sought-after premium devices globally, and the data from Counterpoint suggests that even after several months of its launch, the iPhone 13 series is doing good in the market. The data revealed that iPhones took five different positions in the top 10 smartphones in the global market. Let's take a deeper look into what Counterpoint Research had to say. iPhone SE 2022 is also Going Good With the iPhone 13 Series The iPhone SE 2022, which was unveiled a few months back, is also performing decent globally. As per the data revealed by the research firm, these were the top 10 smartphones in the global market ranking wise in April 2022 – a) iPhone 13 (5.5%), b) iPhone 13 Pro Max (3.4%), c) iPhone 13 Pro (1.8%), d) iPhone 12 (1.6%), e) Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G (1.5%), f) Samsung Galaxy A13 (1.4%), g) Samsung Galaxy A13 (1.4%), h) iPhone SE 2022 (1.4%), i) Galaxy A03 Core (1.4%), j) Galaxy A53 5G (1.3%), and k) Redmi Note 11 LTE (1.3%). The top four rankings were occupied by the iPhones, out of which the top three are the iPhone 13 Pro series devices. The iPhone 14 series is now just a few months away from us, and that might affect the iPhone 13 sales in June and the following months. But Apple would be happy to see a strong iPhone 12 series demand right now. Apart from five Apple devices on the list, there were four Samsung smartphones. It is safe to say that globally, Apple and Samsung are dominating the smartphone market. Samsung's S22 Ultra 5G has been a good success for Samsung, and its A-series devices are also going pretty strong. There was also the Redmi Note 11 LTE on the list at the 10th position, which is interesting.

Vodafone Idea Now in Better Position Posted: 23 Jun 2022 08:41 PM PDT Vodafone Idea (Vi), the third-largest telco in India, is in a better position as it has received the option to defer additional AGR (adjusted gross revenue) dues worth Rs 8,837 crore. This amount is on top of the money that the telco has already deferred for payment. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) had given the telco an option to defer the additional AGR dues up to FY2018-19. Vi naturally opted for the benefit as it would reduce the pressure of liquidity even further. Now, Vodafone Idea is certainly in a much better position with respect to where it was last year at the same time. The Indian government is also going to take a major stake in the company against the interest dues, which again will help Vi in many manners. The telco can now focus on earning money and investing it in expanding the 4G mobile networks and save some for the 5G spectrum auction. Vodafone Idea Can Definitely Make a Comeback The telco just needs to focus on maximising revenues now and reinvesting them as much as possible. With better mobile networks and enterprise revenues in the near future with 5G, Vi can definitely make a comeback. There are other partnerships that Vi has made, and all of them are integrated into its mobile app. These partnerships can also bring in additional revenues, which can help the telco in expanding its business. The only thing that Vi has not been able to do for the last few years is raise fresh capital from external investors. But that might change as the industry ARPU (average revenue per user) is rising, and the government is making it easy for the telcos to do business. Vodafone Idea is certainly going to need some support from external investors to boost growth. The telco already has 200+ million customers, and that is more than enough to get back on track with earning profits in the medium-term.
