Yes. Definitely, I would like to go for its positive aspects as many of my friends here too will be talking in its favour. According to me, Reliance Jio`s move to providing free internet and calling services is a great push to digitisation which our honourable PM Mr. Narendra Modi has been insisting for a long. Also when the free tenure gets over, its prices still remain lower than any other services provided by other companies. In lieu with Reliance Jio`s facilities, bigger companies like Airtel and Vodafone are reducing their prices. Also, Reliance Jio's this services provided for a lot of conveniency amongst different people especially the ones who want to learn new and different things but couldn't afford them for being poor. Earlier they had to use the internet and calling judicially hence their learning used to get restricted. So I think Reliance Jio is a sustainable business model. Thank You.

Yes, in the country like India which is a big market for greedy people, jio will definitely sustain longer. Jio gave many lucrative offers which not only saved our money from getting wasted over internet and calls but gave us high-speed internet access too.

As we all know that everyone is dependent on the internet nowadays, Whatsapp, Facebook and insta have become the need of their life. Not only that, the internet is a crucial part of student's life too, they prefer e-books more than their books, from buying vegetables to online payments and bank works everything is reliable on **INTERNET**.

So, in such digital India if we Indians get free or cheaper internet services then why would we go for the other networks with less lucrative offers than jio.

Yes, it has some disadvantages too like over usage of internet etc but still, its advantages has upper hand on its sustainability in India.

Yes, with the advent of JIO, nowadays every person with a 4G phone is using the internet. This can be seen with the exponential rise in the number of users in just 2-3 months. Other network companies have suffered badly because of it. This business model is sustainable as.

1. It is cheap.

2. It has a lot of other apps associated with it like JIO movies, JIO TV, etc.

3. Due to 4G, the net has good speed.

4. It has free voice calls and free messaging.

5. It promotes digital India scheme.

6. It is user-friendly due to the MyJio app.

7. The sim is free and is activated in a few hours for new users.

These are some of the factors which favor the JIO business model in India. As majority of India's population is middle class, people need cheap, reliable, user-friendly and sustainable technology which is provided by JIO. According to me, JIO will be a success in India.

Yes! It will.

Friends around 90% population of India use mobile phones as a part of their daily life. On such a big platform, a company like Jio entered and grabbed the most of the telecom market. Because of this the companies like airtel, Vodafone who were deciding the tariff plan unreasonably are trying to regain the lost market for them. For them, now the situation is so bad that reliance Jio is deciding their tariff plan indirectly. Because of the huge competition in this market, plans are affordable even by the man who sleeps at foot path, that is because of Jio effect. It also supports the dream of digital India to come true since internet now is everyone's cup of coffee. It will also help our nation to become the cash less economy. Ultimately we can say that Reliance Jio will be a sustainable business model in a country like India.

Thanks.

I think Reliance Jio will be a boon for the country like India as we know that today internet plays a vital role for every aspect of work in our life. It has become a basic requirement for all ave groups. All of the society is not capable of paying huge bills of internet and other telecom services but Jio has made it true. Even if a 5th standard child has to make his project then he can jse it for free and gives his best.

Till now, no other company has thought of giving any kind of free service to its customers and never thought of contributing in a country like India. So reliance jjio has made it possible and now over 90% of the population is using their services free of cost and free of pressure of that large bills. Hence this kind of service would definitely be a sustainable business model in a country like India.

Thank you.

All the above suggestion are good and should get appreciation.

But my suggestion is different because People usually using an old number if we take an example of mine usually 5 years and more.

So its difficult to have another number if [JIO is providing number potability ] which you are using less.

Taking about services, services are quite good as compare to other brands but some places network is still.

Common. Those user having a good data speed are having but those who don't have are not getting because of last of coverage.

Taking about the compatibility it's working on 4g and taking about the market the minimum 4g handset going to cost you 4500-5000.

So its not for a small scale common user who uses no internet phone.

Thus it's a great move but still a lot of room is there for improvement.

The moment Jio came into existence as a project in India, people rushed to stores because of its free availability and extraordinary offers. Since that day, this network has critically changed the picture of telecom businesses as well as assisted in making people use the internet services greatly. Earlier it was the young generation only who actually knew the usage of Internet and the older ones never took the advantage of this facility just with a fear if they will actually be able to operate, which used to get double thinking what if I don't get it - Wastage of money and consequently skipping the idea of giving it a try. However this picture changed with Jio networks. It has done a tremendous job and won't be wrong to say that it's contributing in making India a digital nation.

Yes, Jio is very beneficial and it will definitely sustain for a long time. As the strategy used by Jio is awesome. As it is serving our nation but most of the businessmen think about themselves only and they do not think about other people of the country. But Ambani understood the concept of economy of scale and because of this concept only Jio is famous and success full in India. It has tried to solve a lot of problems in India as we know most of the poor people in India are not able to take proper higher education but now the can get all types of knowledge in the internet which is very cheap and easily affordable. Now, most of the problems can be solved by the internet as we can get an answer of anything in the internet.

Thanks to Ambani for jio.

JIO means live, the name it self says, what a common man wants. Reliance Jio has become a trend as it is free and provides high speed. While reading above opinions, someone said it's a "strategy", I ask, why not? why think of future? Live for today. Other companies also have strategies, but they never thought of providing free high-speed internet to the people, but Reliance JIO did. Analysis says JIO has been used by almost 70-80% of Indian population. Also, those who don't have 4G compatible phones, JIO came up with wifi dongles, another option. People especially students like us, who are the future of India, are getting benefited, aren't we? Yes, Reliance JIO is a sustainable business model in the developing country like India!

I don't think so (it is sustainable), whatever launches (i.e Free offer welcome and new year), is free but reason is that when we call, sms, or other facilities they provided & after that one service is to be used the related that advertisement is displaying on it, so according to that they get their cost of advertising. And also the point when person purchases "JIO SIM" they have to submit their "AADHAR Identity". So whatever they submitted this document there AADHAR is linked with their Bank Accounts and almost 90 million purchases jio. So, now think of the moment it linked with the bank account so the after the offer complete as they can easily detect their cost from AADHAR services.

It's Free but not Free.
