Telecom Diary: Tariff revision on the horizon to enhance service quality?

The telecom industry has been considering a tariff revision to improve its financial metrics. This move additionally could help enhance the quality of services, which has been deteriorating.

The quality of services has been a concern at a time when India, the fastest-growing mobile market in the world, claims to have launched next-generation 5G services in a record time. Analysts estimate tariff revisions of up to 25 per cent will enable the industry to improve average revenue per user (ARPU), which currently ranks among the lowest globally.
