We have seen a revolutionary change in the tariff rates and the speed of internet after Jio entered the national telecom field. They have given away the data for absolutely free of cost and introduced impressive data plans, which made the other operators opt for similar packages.
According to the mobility report, the number of mobile subscriptions in India as of January 2017 is 1.2 billion and it will increase by 4 percent to touch 1.4 billion by 2022, especially due to the tariff rate decrement almost every telecom network brought to effect.
The report even throws light at the data usage of Indians. An average Indian uses 4GB data per month as of now and it will go all the way up to 11 within five years. The overall data consumption at the present time is 1 exabyte (one billion gigabytes) per month. When we take the mobility report into the consideration, the data usage rate will touch a whopping 8 exabyte as five years pass.
