Rivals are trying to malign our brand name before debut, says Reliance Jio

As reported earlier, India’s top telecom companies have approached the telecom department about Reliance Industry’s telecom leg Jio breaking rules. To this, RIL officials have said that the GSM industry body representing India's top telcos is trying to "sabotage" Jio’s name before its debut this month, trying to "malign its name".

Jio chairman RS Sharma wrote identical but separate letters to telecom secretary JS Deepak and Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) chairman RS Sharma on August 10th, calling the GSM Industry body's recent allegations against it, "malicious, unfounded and ill-informed."

The letter added that since Jio is set to bring a completely new technology to Indian telecom market in the form of end to end IP-based network, they need to test the network at the fullest possible load, hence the large number of users.
