We have been enjoying 4G in India since three years, but state-run MTNL and BSNL are still offering 3G. BSNL started testing 4G services in Kerala earlier this year but we didn’t get information about its rollout.
BSNL has been facing tough completion from Reliance Jio, Airtel, Vodafone, and Idea which are already offering high-speed 4G services across India. BSNL tried to compete by offering cheap 3G services but that was no enough and it lost millions of subscribers
Now it will also be interesting to see the 4G bundled data plans. Reliance Jio is already doing well because of cheap plane and competing with it will be really tough.
