Jio slams Airtel’s complaint against offers of live TV channels with broadband plan

Reliance Jio has slammed Bharti Airtel for filing a complaint with telecom regulator over live TV channels offering with JioFiber, saying the rival company’s sole grouse was the reasonable tariffs of JioFiber.

Jio dubbed charges made by Airtel as “deliberate malicious attempt to defame” RJIL’s consumer-friendly tariffs to protect “narrow interests”.

Jio in a letter to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) said “Airtel should be warned against making such frivolous complaints in future”.

The offensive came after Bharti Airtel told regulator Trai that broadcasters are violating the downlinking policy by providing broadcast content to unregistered digital distribution platforms.
