Trai nod to Jio free offer till December 3

1472713867-0944
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on Thursday said Reliance Jio can offer its free promotional offer till December 3, also clarifying that tariffs offered by the Mukesh Ambani-led firm were not predatory or discriminatory.
This means new customers won’t be able to avail the offer after December 3 and Jio subscribers would have to pay as per the tariffs announced by the company. Customers who have subscribed before December 3 will enjoy benefits till December 31.
In its quarterly results, Jio said it might extend the period of free services in case its subscribers were unable to get adequate experience of seamless connectivity across the network because of interconnection congestion and the quality of service parameters are not as per the benchmarks desired by the Jio management.
Jio had launched the commercial services on September 5 and also announced it would provide all voice and data services free till December 31. The incumbent telcos objected, claiming such offers could not be provided for more than 90 days. Read More
