end customers but also focus on the low to mid-range
segments. The key idea is to make internet accessible and
affordable to consumers in all parts of the country. These
sections of the market are being targeted by offering all
services at reasonable prices. Current market practice is to
charge a base rate of Rs. 4,000 to Rs. 10,000 per GB of data.
Jio will have a base rate which is more than at a 90 percent
discount over the industry. On the cheapest plan, Reliance
offers 4GB of data for Rs. 499 .However, Reliance is also

which you make voice calls over the data network. VoLTE
network makes voice calling faster with great clarity as
compared to non-VoLTE networks that treat data and voice
differently.
