Reliance Jio Infocomm will launch commercial operations in coming months as its test programme has established smooth operations of all aspects of the network, company's parent RIl said on Friday. Reliance Jio, the telecom arm of Reliance Industries, launched full scale service offerings for group employees, partners, vendors and associates on a trial basis on December 28, 2015.
“Over half a million users have been onboarded on the network. The initial feedback is very encouraging and has established smooth operations of all aspects of the network,” RIl said. RIl Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani said the 4G telecom and high-speed broadband services will be launched this year. But he did not give a specific date.
“The commercial roll-out of our Jio services this year will digitally enable a billion Indians and propel growth for India and Reliance,” he said. The company said average monthly consumption per user is in excess of 18 GB within the first month of service and is increasing rapidly whereas average voice usage is over 250 minutes within the first month.
