Until 31st March, Jio could be sustainable. Thereafter when the charges would be implemented we need to think on two points:
1. What would be the charges?
2. What percent of population would be willing to pay?
Now considering the second part first let's say they provide services at a very minimal cost, then too the users would have to then pay atleast an amount for the same services they were using free of cost and then there will also be other companies like AIRTEL VODAFONE etc which have already lowered their data and call charges would also compete hence the population would be divided, not that there would be no user of JIO but ot upto the great number as we can find today.
Coming to the first part we need to first think what amount they would be charging the users?
Anyhow according to me many poor people are using JIO as its free of cost now, since they would have to pay something you can just margin them out of the user list. Now in India, where majority of population belongs to middle class, the frequency of the recharges done by them varies, around 85.55% people users recharge per month, now the frequency of recharges would decline as the addiction of jio decreases in a long run after being it 4-5 times per month at the starting.
I don't think it would be a sustainable model if the data and call rates are kept very high in a long run.

Although Reliance JIO is boon for people, it has some blind spots too. The model can not be implemented fully especially in rural areas as in country like India, there are still problems of Connectivity, Network, Speed of data etc. People having JIO sim are facing these problems at many places and it would take approx 5 years to fully furnish, so here the JIO technology fails n hence Digital India project too.

Yes, Reliance Jio is sustainable.
It has framed their plan very well.
They enter the market when tariff pack are high.
They tied up with life mobile company so that they even got profit from them.
They are also supported by govt we can easily find that by a complete process of purchase of sim done 1min.
By just taking our fingerprint and Adhar number.
So govt has shared the data of Adhar with Jio. This shows Jio is supported by govt.

No, it is not a sustainable business.
The various reason for that is the alarming rate at which the competing service providers have introduced new service plans and an analogous method of implementing those plans. The competitors will sense what Jio could become if left unmined and they will react to it. Jio undoubtedly have created a revolution but will not be able to sustain its present status after a while obviously, but at a lower level unless forced by another idea.

Yes, Reliance Jio is the complete revolution in telecommunications world in India. It has an opportunity to all people of India from to urban, from rich to poor earlier tele giants like Airtel, Idea, Vodafone charged hundred for just 1GB internet which makes it unsustainable, now every one able to access the internet at their home cheaply.

Yes, in my opinion, Reliance jio is a sustainable business model in a country like India. We have lot of advantages to it first of all its speed and second its data rates. In many rural areas Tv and high-speed internet have not reached yet, jio took the advantage of this and now providing benefits to rural. Jio will have the first mover advantage.
If the competitors of jio start offering 4G data for cheap rates, the price advantage of jio will not exist. If that happens, the business model will not be sustainable. Jio also helping to make our country digital.

Yes, I Think they have made quite an impact after introducing Welcome offers free of cost for all and they have achieved around 500 million subscribers which itself says it all. Competitors of Jio are just trying to make up with them. The thing is competitors didn't have the guts to bring such an offer and kudos to Mukesh Ambani for bringing such an idea and it will only get better as the years go by.

In my point of view, after the trial is over they will implement high cost plan then chances of hacking our personal data's and hereafter we can't use the 4G mobile which we put reliance sim it's merely like captivating consumers.

1- free of cost.
2- free call and massaging.
3- high speed 4g data.

In India Jio service is good for students, business proposal.
