I wonder where is CCI and what are they doing

 

[Rickysin]

well i am not in favour of jio or any other company but we have to admit it that jio is providing so many OTT's at such low price and now also providing jio premium for free with fiber plans of 1499rs and above.

Ever heard of "bulk discount"? Do you think Millions of users who use jio OTT plans even use/activate them? And do you think they cost the same to Jio as much as they cost to us? Not even 1/3 for one person/account.

It's not low price but yeah compared to other countries it's good. But then we should also see other countries broadband prices compared with their OTT prices as well as regional pricing difference with India & more...
