RIL to ride on RCOM for telecom foray; may launch cheaper tablets at Rs 6000 - Page2 - The Economic Times
Reliance Industries' entry is expected to trigger a tariff war in the data services space, say industry experts. The Mukesh Ambani company may offer data at as low as Rs 10 per gigabit of data, say people familiar with its plans, compared with Rs 100 for most operators now.
The company also plans to source wholesale voice services from RCOM and offer it through bundled deals to its data customers. Both companies will also work towards launching cheaper tablet devices, similar to those offered by RCOM that are currently priced at Rs 12,999 apiece. Officials from both companies have said they plan to bring that price down to Rs 6,000 in about one year.
