after 29th Dec...it can be any of the below options
1. All the existing plans are extended
2. All the existing plans are extended and it will be available in more SSAs
3. New Plans might be launched (all depends on Jio/Airtel)

One thing is for sure...they way Jio/Airtel are expanding and BSNL loosing wired broadband market.
BSNL need to be competitive if they want to survive

I wouldnt trust Jio to give plans forever, they like to steal all of the market and then raise prices. They are just trying to kill the competition, will be lucky if there are more than Jio and Airtel within few years with mobile networks in India

It is already the case. Jio and Airtel are the de facto primary choices for most people's SIM 1 and SIM 2, respectively.

They way I see it...Jio can keep giving this plan for near future...as consumer you think that services are cheap....but we fail to look at bigger picture
1. With such plans Jio is expanding its coverage indoors(you pay for electricity)😂
2. You have no control on the router, Jio broadcast hidden SSID..future use many (WiFI calling supporting all the IoT devices ), you won't even know if neighbours Jio IoT works off your Jio Router in future
3. The massive data control and ecosystem they gets to build...you start with lower plan then you take there OOT apps then start using more and more of der services...and then cross selling all the customers...
Believe me...he can continue giving you free mobile /FTTH internet and will still make money off other business using your data or assisting you in buying his other services

Both 1 and 2 will happen if they get a favourable response to the existing plans. Else, plans would be discontinued and the previous plans would come into place.

The customer has physical control over the router. As I said before wrap the router in aluminum foil to block wifi and use own WAP/router.
To prevent data harvesting by Jio use a VPN.

Its not that hard to prevent being sucked into their ecosystem. For mobile data Airtel and VI still exist (even if VI goes bankrupt Airtel will likely remain), it is possible to buy subscriptions directly or pirate.

This isn't to say an average user would do this. But nerds like us may be more inclined to do so especially if they dont have a choice.

I don't know how BSNL even launched these plans. Their own regular employees don't want BSNL to survive. They just want to retire happily with constant source of income and don't want to do any work or help people.

This is the work of some higher level people. So, I am not sure if these plans would be continued.

Just registered for answering this question.
That plan(for example 799/- one) will be valid till 6 months from date of purchase of that plan. Like i get this plan on 5 dec 2020 then it will be valid till 5 june 2021. After that they will upgrade it to 849/- one.
Hope it helps and you got idea.
