Why Reliance Jio broadband services may be free for sometime

KOLKATA | MUMBAI: Reliance Jio Infocomm won’t be able to charge customers for home broadband services for at least another month as it is migrating to an integrated billing system that is yet to stabilise, a scenario that could potentially delay monetisation of JioFiber services, people familiar with the matter said.
Further, droves of sales & marketing staffers at Jio are yet to be fully trained to sell the company’s diverse home broadband plans, which too could delay commercial monetisation of the services at the Reliance Industries unit. JioFiber’s plans range between Rs 699 and Rs 8,499 a month, with speeds from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps, coupled with bundles in specialised services such as gaming, home network sharing, TV video calling & conferencing, device security besides access to content.
