Telecom operators such as Idea, Reliance and Vodafone are likely to slash down prices of their third-generation (3G) mobile data services, after Bharti Airtel announced a 70 per cent cut in price of 3G tariffs.
Bharti Airtel, which has already launched 4G services in Bangalore and Kolkata circles, is now planning to extend its latest 4G services in other circles as well. The operator is already in talks with U.S. chip maker Qualcomm to purchase the latter's 4G licences in India. Airtel has seem to surprised their rivals by being the first operator to bring the latest 4G and slash 3G tariffs drastically.
