These telecom operators are to blame for their situation. They all reneged on an agreement with the Govt and took it to court over AGR. They've lost and must pay the amount due with interest and other charges.
That said, should any operator close down now it will be a loss for customers, the Govt, the banks (!!) and last but not the least the employees and dealers. The Govt can't afford to be rigid with this demand and may extend deferred payment terms and hence a lifeline. This does not bode well though. Because these operators will stop investing in technology upgrades and I expect an impact on QoS just like what has happened to BSNL/MTNL after they downsized their employees and cut back on costs.
Vodafone-Idea was shitty enough to begin with 2 years ago when I ported to Jio. I think VF-I customers should seriously consider porting out to Airtel or Jio. Should VF-I survive and pull up their socks they can always port back after a few months.
