Vodafone Idea flags Airtel’s 5G priority plans; Jio backs network slicing
Telecom service provider Vodafone Idea on Thursday flagged priority postpaid plans based on 5G slicing offered by Bharti Airtel, calling them against the principles of equity and an equal digital ecosystem. For the first time in recent years, Vodafone Idea, India’s third-largest telecom service provider, released a statement targeting Bharti Airtel. Its CMO, Avneesh Khosla, in a direct statement, said that offering preferential speeds or services based on user profile raises questions around equity and the principles of an equal digital ecosystem.
