The entire telecom industry has been struggling with tariffs at the rock bottom and OPEX inflating month on month. Almost all Telecom operators have started increasing tariff and no one appears to be considering reduction in prices of Voice and Data packs. However, in case of BSNL, Mobile Internet Data STVs are comparable or cheaper than that of any other private operator.
BSNL has the largest 3G coverage and is continuously expanding its network in unreached areas all across the country. Let us take a look at below mentioned figures that how private telecom operators offer 3G mobile internet data packs with significantly increased tariffs.
