Reliance Jio launches JioMotive, a vehicle tracking and diagnostics device

<ul><li>Last week, Jio increased its calling tariffs by 6 paise per minute. </li><li>India Ratings says that the industry’s average revenue per user (ARPU) will go up by 15-18% after Jio’s price hike. </li><li>Jio’s data tariffs are 25-30% cheaper than that of Airtel and Voda-Idea. </li><li>Jio is a net payer of IUC charges, whereas Voda-Idea and Airtel are net-receivers of IUC receipts--as calls originate from Jio and land on other networks. </li></ul> It had to happen one day. But Reliance Jio’s move to increase tariffs came sooner than expected. Even as Jio, Vodafone Idea and Airtel are teasing each other over it on social media, and thousands are trolling Mukesh Ambani for ‘breaking his free’ promise---it is good news for the industry. At least that is what India Ratings believes. Jio charging its customers 6 paise per minute on its ‘free’ calling package—can help increase the rising margins of the industry. The sector’s average revenue per user will go up by ₹9, and in general increase by 15-18% according to the rating agency. Like Jio says in its tweet, this amount will be going to Vodafone Idea and Airtel as Jio can no longer get away without paying telecom department’s mandatory inter-connection (IUC) charges. This is the charge paid to a network which is receiving calls, by the network from where a call originates. In an ideal situation, the amount all networks pay each other should balance out—considering their subscriber number is around the same. However, that is not to be. Jio has the most to lose. The offnet minutes of usage is 64% for Jio, while it is at 41% for Voda-Idea and 45% for Airtel. “Also, of the total offnet voice traffic, net incoming minutes as a proportion of total offnet minutes stands at negative 29% for R-Jio whereas the same is 9% and 19% for Airtel and Voda-Idea respectively, implying that network voice traffic imbalance is significantly higher for R-Jio compared with peers. Hence, R-Jio remains a net-payer of IUC expenses, whereas Voda-Idea and Airtel are net-receivers of IUC receipts,” says India Ratings. Basically, calls originate from Jio and land on other networks. Jio users continue to keep other network SIMs It means that more people are using Jio SIMs for its cheap data plans, and also for making the ‘free’ calls it offers. It makes sense as Jio’s data tariffs are 25-30% cheaper than that of Airtel and Voda-Idea. Yet, users have not given up their basic SIMs which belonged to other networks, and continue to exist. These numbers are ‘primary’ phone numbers which are key to their bank accounts and other necessary identifications. And, few seem to believe that cheap tariff party will not continue to exist. All mixed with the ease of owning multiple SIMs have played against Jio. Had subscribers chosen to keep only Jio connections and get rid of others, they would have ported to it. Looks like not many have done that.

Reliance Jio is paying the price for being the ‘second SIM’ of choice

It is reportedly a 4G laptop, and we may see a 5G variant in the future. According to a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-indias-reliance-jio-launch-4g-enabled-low-cost-laptop-184-sources-2022-10-02/">report</a> by Reuters, Reliance Jio is working on an affordable 4G-enabled laptop priced at $184 (approx. ₹15,000). The device will reportedly come with an embedded Jio 4G SIM card. Jio has been working on the JioBook for quite some time now, and a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/jio-may-soon-launch-an-affordable-laptop/articleshow/87662052.cms">report</a> in 2021 revealed a few specifications of the device.

A larger commercial launch is expected to occur in the next three months. As per the source, while the company will initially launch a 4G enabled laptop, a 5G version will be unveiled later. Interestingly, this news comes just days after <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/jio-will-launch-5g-for-the-entire-country-by-december-2023-mukesh-ambani/articleshow/94579338.cms">Jio</a> and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/telecom/news/airtel-5g-services-launched-in-eight-cities-the-entire-country-to-be-covered-by-2024/articleshow/94579199.cms">Airtel</a> announced the launch of 5G services in the country. While Airtel’s 5G services have already been launched, Jio is expected to begin its rollout around Diwali. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="It will be the next JioPhone" comment="subhead" text="It will be the next JioPhone">It will be the next JioPhone</cmsannotation> "This will be as big as JioPhone," a source familiar with the matter told Reuters. The JioPhone was the company’s affordable 4G phone that became a huge success soon after its launch as it was the most affordable 4G phone. In addition to a 4G laptop, the Mukesh Ambani-led company is currently also working on launching an affordable 5G smartphone. The JioBook will reportedly be produced in India by contract manufacturer Flex. Jio reportedly aims to sell "hundreds of thousands" of units of the JioBook by March 2023. “There are cheaper chrome books as well. Challenges for the adoption will be user awareness and learning curve especially for the first time laptop users. Also non-windows is a let down too but one thing Jio can overcome here is the connectivity and software ecosystem, that wasn't working in favor of chromebooks,” said Tarun Pathak, research director of Counterpoint Research. The JioBook will reportedly run on the company’s operating system, JioOS. An earlier report had suggested that the JioBook will be equipped with the Snapdragon 665 chipset and offer up to 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. We should know more about the JioBook in the coming days.

Reliance <keyword id="2003276" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jio">Jio</keyword>’s feature phone was one of the most talked about announcement and <keyword id="3820" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mukesh-Ambani">Mukesh Ambani</keyword> made sure it was worth it by launching a ‘smartish’ feature phone that was “effectively” free, finally putting to rest all the speculations about the pricing of the phone before its launch. It’s now clear that the new feature phone from Jio will be a single sim phone. It has to be an important decision for Jio to take as making it a double sim phone is not such a big deal or an expensive feature. It means that <keyword id="4289270" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="jio-phone">Jio phone</keyword> is only meant for Jio sim. With the announced plan for Jio phone, it is certain to disrupt the entire feature phone market and the plan makes sure that the Jio feature phone users will be tied down to Jio services for minimum three years if they want the phone for free. 
 
The compact single sim Jio phone has 2.4” QVGA display, torch light, FM Radio, Camera and other such feature phone features. The phone will powered by VoLTE and Jio have already announced free voice calls. However even though the phone have single sim tray, Jio phone is not going to be a locked phone. Existing Jio consumers can move to Jio phone with the same number. While the phone is not locked but Jio phone can only be used with Jio sim. Jio has also announced a connector with the phone that will help customers connect Jio phone to all TV sets(not only smart TV) in order to view video content from phone directly on the TV sets. This feature can prove extremely fruitful to Jio considering feature phone users are mainly in the rural areas and modes of entertainment in rural areas are limited hence data on their phones can be their sole medium for entertainment. 
 
It not certain at this point if there is going to be a dual sim Jio phone at a later stage. Single sim phone will go on sale from September and can be prebooked on the Jio website by registering for the JioPhone. Reliance JioPhone’s pre-bookings will start from August 24, though the public beta testing officially starts on August 15.

<ul><li>Weak market blow takes down the shares of top information technology to hit their 52-week.</li><li>This is despite the positive commentary on the sector supported by the optimism that companies are still spending fortunes on digital transformation.</li><li>However, investors seem to be worried about the potential recession in the US to impact the sector badly.</li></ul>The fear of the US slipping into recession has imploded the valuations of Indian IT companies. The shares of the top five Indian companies including Infosys, TCS, Wipro have hit their 52-week low as investors fret over a possible recession in their biggest market – the US. "The stock price correction (in IT firms) has largely been due to de-rating of valuation multiples, as earnings estimates have largely remained intact or seen minor downgrades. The reasons for this sharp derating, as we mentioned above, are largely related to the global macro environment,” said a report by Phillip Capital. Over the past few months, stock markets across the world have been hit by concerns of the US Fed tightening liquidity, rising inflation in the US/European Union, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, volatile crude and commodity prices. All these macro risks point to growth slowdown in US/EU, key markets for the Indian IT services industry – putting the basic growth assumptions into question. High inflation reduces the spending power of corporates, and hence the revenue growth potential of IT services companies, at risk, says the report. Temporary effect say IT sector analysts Despite the heightened concerns of Indian IT firms losing business, analysts are confident that the impact will be short term and temporary. “While the global macro fears are for real, we believe their impact on earnings will be minimal and temporary. The demand outlook continues to be super-bullish – by Gartner, ISG, Accenture and Infosys/HCL (in their recent analyst meets). The commentary on tech spending by major BFSI and retail players (two major verticals for Indian IT) also remains strong, despite macroconcerns,” added the report. <div type="image" title="Copy of top 5 companies col" height="900" width="1200" msid="92279851" hostid="261"></div> Tech Mahindra and Wipro have seen a steep fall A<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/it-oil-pharma-fmcg-among-sectors-that-can-survive-in-bear-stock-market-as-per-analysts/articleshow/92223197.cms">ccording to analysts</a>, Indian markets are another 10% correction away from it, and it all hangs on an announcement around a recession in the US markets – indicating that the pain in this sector might continue for the foreseeable future, even though they believe in the fundamentals of the sector. Within IT stocks, however, analysts choose TCS and Infosys to better weather the storm - leaving TechM and Wipro with the steepest fall in valuations. Experts believe are optimistic that companies are still spending on digital transformation – which has become key to survival for many sectors. The tech spending cycle wave is in favour of IT majors like TCS, Infosys, Wipro and HCL Tech. As companies are spending a fortune on digitization, the IT sector is well placed in a volatile and recession-feared market as its demand is strong despite high inflation, says a report by Kotak Institutional Equities. In the meanwhile, however, the selling pressure looks like it’s far off from easing, aided by a broader weak sentiment in the markets.

But, things seem to be changing with the telecommunications sector in India grappling with a <a href="https://trai.gov.in/sites/default/files/PRNo103Eng03102018.pdf">shrinking user base</a>. Falling revenues has been a concern ever since Reliance Jio made its entry into the market with free calling and cheap data rates, but users growth had been exponential with it growing from 873.36 million to 1.14 billion over the span of five years. That being said, it’s not all that surprising since telecom density is now at nearly 90%. Especially since every other operator, aside from Reliance Jio, seems to be growing smaller in terms of market share and market revenue. Data published by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India shows that wireless connections were already on a downward slope with consistent falls over the past few quarters. The switch from voice to data More than everyone having access to a phone with internet and network connectivity, the real trigger in the falling user base seems to be because users are switching over to data plans that are coupled with free calling. Experts <a href="https://www.livemint.com/Industry/24YdU0cVdwXl9SDDZnVgRL/As-users-dip-data-drives-growth-in-Indias-telecom-sector.html">speculate</a> that even the telecommunication companies are more keen to switch <keyword id="1094150" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Feature-phone">feature phone</keyword> users into smartphone users rather than acquire new users altogether. And, with the bigwigs consolidating the market by buying out smaller players, users have fewer options and alternatives when it comes to their call and data subscriptions. Rainbow along the horizon While the number of users may be shrinking, the prices finally seem to have have stabilised. Experts largely <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/telecom/telecom-news/relief-in-offing-for-telecom-companies-as-tariffs-likely-to-go-up/articleshow/66127879.cms">attribute</a> that to Reliance Jio not making any disruptive moves. In the past, it’s the company’s aggressive pricing strategy, that’s been good for consumers, but a pain for other players in the industry. And, with other market pressures building under the rupee’s depreciation and rising bond yields, it might not be so easy for Reliance, or any telecom company, to roll out freebies to its consumers anymore. Experts predict that some companies might even go so far as to re-introduce separate plans for data and voice calling.
