Internet users will pay more in India
Internet usage on mobile phones has increased in India due to corona virus lockdown. However, due to several policies of the Indian government, the cost of internet users will increase this year. News Gazettes Now.
Recently, tariffs in the telecommunications sector in India have been increased by 20-25 percent. As a result, the country's mobile operators are going to increase the price of internet.
Analysts say India is still the top country in the world in terms of access to affordable internet packages. But to survive the rising cost pressures and market competition, telecom companies will have to raise package prices.
However, despite the price increase, the cost of 30 cents per gigabyte of internet in India is still one of the most affordable data plans in the world. Besides, the most affordable data package can be used in the country for only 10 cents.
In the United States, China and South Korea, it costs $ 8-10 per gigabyte of internet and 60 cents to $2 for the most affordable data package.
As such, Indian telecom service providers still have the opportunity to raise prices.
