Bharti Airtel, India’s largest telecom operator, launched “myHome Rewards” programme for its broadband users. Under this offer, Airtel broadband user will now get a monthly 5GB additional data for every other Airtel service connection.

Say, if you have an Airtel postpaid mobile connection, then you can enjoy an extra 5GB on your Airtel broadband. Similarly, if you have 2 postpaid connections and 1 Airtel Digital TV (DTH) connection, then you will be entitled to get 15GB additional data every month.

How to Avail this 5GB Additional Data Benefit?

Airtel customers can avail this offer by downloading myAirtel app or visit www.airtel.in/myhome/ .

1. Enter your registered mobile number or Broadband ID.
2. Add your Airtel postpaid mobile number and/or Airtel Digital TV (DTH) account.
3. Validate and confirm your request via SMS.
4. Enjoy additional monthly 5GB data for free.

This is surely a surprise from Airtel to delight its broadband customers. Along with unlimited free voice calls on the landline, this Airtel Surprise surely deserves Thumbs Up.

Following the footprints of Airtel, the Maxis owned telecom company Aircel has now introduced an unlimited prepaid combo pack in Kolkata and West Bengal circles. The new recharge pack will offer unlimited on net local, STD calls and 3G data for its customers.

With the new INR 649 recharge, the customers will get unlimited local and STD calls and 1 GB 3G data for a period of 28 days. If the user wants to enjoy the same facilities for 14 days, then he may recharge with INR 349 denomination pack. In this INR 349 pack, the user will get unlimited voice calling but the data is limited to 500MB.

Aircel has even cut down the prices of some unlimited voice packs. Earlier with INR 398 recharge, one could avail unlimited local Aircel to Aircel mobile calls plus 500 MB 2G/3G data. Now, it has been revamped as INR 299 unlimited on net calling pack.

With Reliance Jio’s unlimited Preview offer becoming instant hit, the companies are now waking up to retain their higher voice using customers offering unlimited voice calls across India. Aircel has now come up with INR 597 and INR 999 combo packs in West Bengal circle.

INR 597 – Unlimited all local mobile calls + 1GB 2G/3G data for 28 days

INR 999 – Unlimited all local and STD mobile calls + 1GB 2G/3G data for 28 days

The biggest reform happening to hit Indian taxation is GST. Goods and services tax also known as GST will be the only indirect tax levied on goods and services at the national level. Though it is believed to streamline the process of taxation, it has got political opposition even during UPA 2 regime. What happens next to the telecom sector when GST is implemented? Let’s have an outlook on it.

As per Telecom analysts and experts, GST is expected to ease business doing across the country. It will simplify the tax structure administered across states and make it under federal framework. Definitely, GST will turn India into one common market.

GST Affect - An Immediate Loss:

As per some industry specialists, telecom tower companies will miss more than INR 2,000 crore annual savings as petro-products are kept out of GST regime. It’s definitely a setback as telecom sector is the second biggest buyer of diesel after the Indian railways. Indeed, it’s a big loss!

The current service tax rate is 15% and as per GST it could be 18% and thus subscribers will have to shell out the difference. It could be in the form of higher call charges and higher data charges. If it is a benefit, then the telecom operators will hold it. As this is a loss, so companies will definitely pass this loss to their subscribers. Just kidding! :slight_smile:

On the positive side, GST will give a big boost to handset makers. Now, the companies need not shell out on state specific taxes and warehouses. With uniform tax, the companies can now invest only on business activities leaving logistics issues. With 18%, one can expect a price increase across all the mobile phone handsets.

For e-commerce companies, GST will ease the business as the new tax will make tax collection at source and facilitating deeper penetration of their services. However, it could lead to multiple taxation points instead of single invoice.

With Pan India service, one can expect highly regulated services from telecom operators. Initially, GST may bring negative consequences financially. However, in the long term, policy making would be easier leading to better business.

DTH operator TataSky turns 10 on 8th August, 2016. Surely, this is a reason to celebrate. The operator is offering all channels for free for a period of 14 days to every subscriber. That means, every active account will get all the channels (SD/HD) for free starting from 8th August to 21st August.

TataSky offers 413 SD channels and 67 HD channels. Apart from showcase channels, it also has access to 24 transponders across two satellites. With Reliance Jio expanding its services to IPTV, TataSky will revamp its technology.

Recently, some subscribers reported an OTA update in their HD set top boxes. Need to confirm whether this push up update has anything to do with its interface. Leaving it aside, enjoy the free access to all channels from 8th August to 21st August.

Reliance Jio has now started offering its LYF powered JioFi 2 hotspot device to HP India customers at INR 2899. With this, you get unlimited Jio Preview Offer for 90 days. It means you can enjoy true 4G network with voice over LTE technology.

It is to be noted that LYF and Samsung are the other partners that are offering 90-day Preview Offer of unlimited calls, unlimited data, and unlimited SMS. The same would be applicable to HP India customers. However, one should be a privileged HP customer to get an invite mail.

As per the latest figures submitted to the Parliament on 3rd August, Vodafone is the biggest gainer and Reliance Communications is the biggest loser through mobile number portability (MNP) facility.

About 4.7 crore customers joined Vodafone followed by Airtel with 3.82 crore customers. Telecom operator Idea is the third biggest gainer with 1.8 crore customers taking advantage of MNP process.

Sparing these three telecom operators, all other companies have reported a net loss of their customer base. Reliance Communications posted a net loss of 1.18 crore users from its network including GSM and CDMA.

Top MNP Losers:

In terms of losing customers, Reliance Communications was followed by Aircel (71.58 lakh users), Tata Teleservices (64.5 lakh), Telenor (47 lakh), Videocon (32.55 lakh), BSNL (19.2 lakh), and MTS (6.11 lakh). It is to be noted that Videocon as shut mobile its services.

During his presentation, Telecom Minister Manoj Sinha expressed that TRAI has received a number of complaints on MNP rejections and accordingly, directions were issued to look after complying with MNP rules.

The mobile data price war is continuing. Now Vodafone has slashed data tariff by 67% for its prepaid users. Being India’s second largest telecom operator, Vodafone is also feeling the Jio heat. Though reluctant to comment on the price war, Vodafone announced that the price cut will facilitate better data usage making it more affordable.

Vodafone Cuts 4G & 3G Data Rates:

The new 4G/3G internet packs are as follows:

Similarly, there is an increase of 41% data benefit with INR 39 2G sachet pack - 225MB vs 160MB with 5-day validity. With INR 12 3G/4G sachet pack of 1-day validity, one can now enjoy 50MB vs 30MB. It is to be noted that tariffs and discounts may vary in different circles.

Reliance Jio Unlimited Preview Offer has definitely brought a correction with respect to mobile data tariff. Airtel and Idea are the frontrunners to join the 4G price war. The time has come for the telecom operators to wake up or else Reliance Jio will grab mobile customers even before its commercial launch.
