Now there is finally action at Reliance Jio. It seems that the company is serious about launching its services in 400 cities by March, 2015. Equipment is being imported and ready to be installed at many places. Laying of Optical Fibre network (OFC) is being speeded up.
Otherwise Reliance Jio had become a joke like National Optical Fiber Network (NOFN). Mukesh Ambani was under threat of being compared to an Indian Telecom Minister (party agnostic) promising laying a network of lakhs of kilo-meters in villages without knowing how it would be done.
After all, more than four years have passed since Ambani acquired 4G spectrum. Its one fifth of the total licence period of the spectrum has passed without generating any revenue. At one point of time, there were talks in the market that Ambani had surrendered before the GSM biggies.
Now, suddenly the company officials are full of energy. Its Delhi and Gurgaon offices have become hub of activities.
Success of Reliance Jio is important for Indian consumers. It is the first pre-dominantly broadband company in India. In view of low broadband penetration in India, people are eagerly waiting for its services.
Sources say that Mukesh Ambani is now directly leading the project team. This has rejuvenated the team. Now the services are likely to see the light of the day.
