With a launch of 4G telecom services RIL is in talks with Bharti Airtel to lay undersea cable by taking the necessary infra from Airtel.

Again Mr Gupta also replying to a question about tower sharing deals going on between Reliance Jio Infocomm & Bharti Infratel.

Asia Pacific will get new data connectivity Reliance Jio Infocomm via. Bharti’s submarine cable network.

“Strategic Framework” would be build after the deal between this two new companies like Bharti and Reliance Jio collaboration will also help in other areas of development.

Rs 779 and Rs 1,479 are the following recharge packs available to reduce the incoming & outgoing call rates to 20 rs per minute in some selected countries with full talk time packs. Both these packs can be used internationally & also in India.

In November 2012, Airtel has launched the same roaming packs in African soils to its mobile customers by making incoming calls free.

New 3G customers in seven circles can’t be added by telco major Bharti Airtel as per the decision ruled out by the Supreme Court & as a result of this company’s shares have fallen gradually.

Already the petition has been put to hold by apex regarding cancellation of intra-circle roaming in seven different regions where it used the services of Vodafone & Idea.

3 G Intra-circle roaming facilities to be continued by Bharti Airtel as one of India’s largest mobile operator given by HC order.

Already last week DoT issued a fresh order to stop Airtel’s 3G intra-roaming services in 7 circles of India by putting 350 cr rs penalty i.e 50 cr rs per circle, since the company has violated the terms & conditions like providing services where it does not possess spectrum.

Again all the earnings from 3G services should be kept aside in a separate account & to be showcase on May 8 in front of HC

“3G roaming to continue until the final order but an interim order will be passed later on Airtel’s plea for stay of the government’s order” commented by Rajiv Shakdher, Justice.

A stay order has been issued by the court on the same petition filed by Idea Cellular.

Again Telecom Ministry was challenged by Bhart Airtel to be ask for stopping their 3G services in those seven circles where the company do not possess airwaves & running the services via. mutual agreement with other telco operators.

The Delhi High Court order sought a rule of prohibiting mobile service provider from moving into 3g intra-circle roaming agreement.

Another clause of indent was added to mobile operators as per telecom department in unified license 3G spectrum couldn’t be shared between any telecom operators.

The plea raised by the Idea Cellular Ltd on the Govt. moves on the seven circles where it brought 2G spectrum.

“UL(AS) does not permit provisioning of 3G service using the 3G spectrum of any other service provider using any kind of arrangement,” as per rule given by the Govt.

 Senior Advocate Maninder Singh appearing for the Idea Cellular told that earlier in an intra roaming agreement operators can mutually operate on those circles where they do not possess license & over a year this process was taking place & Govt. was silent on it.

 ”As per the previous licence conditions, 3G roaming was not permitted. This ambiguity cannot be carried forward and, therefore, it has been stated in the new licences that are being issued,” as per commented by Additional Solicitor General Rajeeve Mehra. 

A new roaming scheme has been started by India’s major telco operator known as Bharti Airtel for Delhi based consumers, this plan will help consumers to receive free incoming calls in five states of India.

 Bharti Airtel said in a statement ”With this pack, Airtel prepaid mobile customers can now get up to 30 days of free incoming calls while traveling to Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttrakhand and West Bengal (except Kolkata) on a recharge of Rs 21.”

Re 1 for incoming calls, Re 1 for local outgoing calls and Rs. 1.5 paise for STD calls on roaming were the charges assigned to Delhi based Airtel consumers.

To provide free & easy data access to mobile subscribers Facebook has recently joined hands with some well known operators like Airtel, Reliance. Already Facebook the one & only top most social networking giant in the world partners with more than 18 operators in diferent countries across the world. Actually this free data access will available for those phone only which supports iOS Messenger, Android Messenger & Facebook for anyphone soon to be available in upcoming months.

This kind of unique move from Facebook puts a lot o things in the line like promoting mobile messaging, mobile-only messenger services like WhatsApp, Viber, LINE. Again this new messaging apps were severely affecting the telco operators revenue but Facebook here plays a major role or say a symbiotic way to resolve this issue.

Again at the end of last year Facebook has launched an unique mobile apps which help users to access messaging service without login into Facebook Account. This new apps were running only on Android Phones in regions like  India, Indonesia, Australia, Venezuela and South Africa. Again RCom is offering Facebook Messaging plan only for Rs 16 per month.
