Jio Fiber likely to hit BSNL hard, Bharti Airtel not much

Reliance Jio may have big plans for its fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) services — to be commercially launched on September 5 — but analysts feel the launch of the new service would not be as disruptive for the incumbents as Jio’s mobile services had been when launched three years ago on the same date.

If at all, there’s any major disruption by the launch of Jio’s wireline FTTH services JioFiber, it will be for the state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL), which is currently the market leader in this segment.
