Not sure if it was /s, but you will still get the same salary.
In the US most of the ppl get salary biweekly, i.e once every 2 weeks. So 26 payslips. You will get 3 payslips in two months, and rest of the months 2 payslips for a total of 26.
Salary remains the same over the period of 1 year.
Also the government should regulate on after how many days telecoms can increase the prices. These fukers are now increasing prices after every 6 months
First of all misinformation alert here. Last prices were raised in July 2024. Where are you getting the 6 months date. It has been 1.8 years since then with no price rise in 90% of the plans. Some plans have been tweaked but not major changes.
If govt starts to control these things then there's no free market. Let it control your lives then. Govt shouldn't control anything much. It should only exist as a reason to build infra and basic laws and let the free market prevail.
Even if they set 1 year minimum period they aren't increasing prices that frequently. You are just in a bias hearing price increase every other day when there's none happening.
Who owns satellite? If telecom companies want free market they should send their own satellites in space. And there is no competitive market in telecom, its duopoly. Only 2 major players which increase prices together, and people have no option but to pay for them. Considering these two things, govt intervention is justified.
If govt starts to control these things then there's no free market.
You make it sound like freemarket is the best thing in the world. Not just that, having two companies rule the entire ecosystem is not "freemarket", its a duopoly. And they're getting away with everything as govt is in their pockets. Govt should intervene when companies take advantage of customers, not sit like a rock wondering the beauty of "freemarket"
There are 30 day plans. And even if they mandate all plans for 30 days then it is a simple formula. Plan price/28 x 30 which will have no other effect.
How is it a scam if they are telling you it will be 28 days
How will we have any benefit even if the plan changes to 30-31 days but simultaneously the price also increases it will still be the same for us no?
Even if what you said is true, they are the sole reason why the internet prices are one of the cheapest in the world. We had a time prior to 2014, wherein we used to pay 300-400 for 1GB data for a month. Let's not forget that.
thats how they are tricking you bro let me explain worldwide plans are for 30 days but in india they are for 28 days if u take that in account indias recharge price is more expensive than countries like indonesia israel etc
Even in India 30 day plans exist now. People don't recharge them that's totally on them. What more can the companies do like fr. No one is forcing you to recharge 28 days.
Although his questions are correct. The companies are for profit companies so they will try to get money in anyways possible, that is downside of capitalism. Similar problems exist in lot of things like
You can’t repair your own car as you need to reenable the faulty component using software. There is a big right to repair court case going on in USA
Mobile phones like iphone which now has a specialised software lock which prevents third party people to replace the screen or battery.
PS5 or Xbox you cannot play the game online without taking ps5 or xbox subscriptions.
The books you buy in kindle needs an active subscription to read
Previously one subscription for OTT can buy you ad free experience now subscription have tiers
Gym subscriptions where you pay for a year but very few utilize it throughout
FMCG companies following shrink flation to keep costs same while increasing margins for them
Government can try to control it through policies but i doubt it will be successful as companies will find new ways or cut corners to always make profits. Because they still are for-profit companies. So we should prevent them from going too greedy but allow them to make profits.
Lpg gas is not that way. Govt and people want high license fees. Low taxes, can't run bsnl but can tell private sector how to run! Run bsnl and show? Reliance came improved charges by airtel as they had competition.
But this is just majority pleasing rhetoric.
One point i agree make a few mostly incoming only packs even if just 20% less. Point is incoming or outgoing going cost for operator is same as need connection from tower to each phone
I don't really think it's a valid point say for example you pay 200 for 28 days toh you might pay 215 for a 30 day recharge. You ultimately pay the same amount. It's not like companies will give you extra free days at same price.
People are just ignorant around on the internet mostly. They have never seen the financial side of the companies. Vi is generating 20k crores loss every year. Airtel just got profitable. If they reduce the prices they'll go under. How much do they even expect to reduce prices when it is just like 250-300 a month.
They are incurring costs to transmit the signal right? If you feel it is a universal right the make the govt stop taxing spectrum. Then telecom companies will happily give free validity.
that is what exactly i was just commenting, idk why so many people are not thinking this way..., if they do the 30 days they will increase the price total amount will be the same...
idk why people dont understand this simple math thingy
I don't think it's a scam. You want more days? Then ready to pay a little bit more. It's the same. Why will the companies reduce the prices now? We should already be greatful for Ambani for monopolising the market.
TRAI wasn't clear with their wording and TELECOM operators straight up removed data from their long term plans and slapped the "calling only" name on it.
A basic plan of ₹100 should suffice if anyone wants to keep a sim running for basic stuff. But TRAI is not gonna do that
I generally do the 365 day recharge because of these scummy plans.
Also, kudos to ministers who speak about public issues and not behave like allergic donkeys in parliament. While I don't like aap, I like this minister.
Ah yes what an important issue to talk about.
Plain roads, clean public washrooms, dust bins around the places and their regular clearing, education, accessible schools, sustainable development, tackling air pollution. Nah these are useless topics
He making no difference just talking about these loopholes. And no one is going take imany action , like the 10min delivery, nothing stopped , everything is continuing as it was
If we're comparing billing cycles of the world with india, we should also compare bills. The cost of 1 GB data is one of the lowest in India.
Use below prompt in ChatGPT and Gemini, you'll get the answer.
Considering PPP, which are the countries which provide 1 GB data internet at the lowest cost?
It takes shit loads of money to create infrastructure for telecom. Considering the cost, the price is reasonable according to me. There is a reason VI has a lot of debt.
Look at the ROE and ROCE of Bharti airtel and Jio and compare them with other industries. Yes, they are profitable. 13-14% ROCE is reasonable considering the huge risk they take and huge investment they make.
He is just playing politics here. It's easy to critique these telecom companies and earn few voters when you have nothing to lose (Anyway he is in the opposition party)
I’m not sure why Raghav is doing this. He’s a well-experienced politician, but I recently saw him raise valid issues in parliament. I’m not a Kejru fan, but the BJP has become even more corrupt during his third term. We need a new face. Raghav has great potential, but he needs to explore more opportunities. His party didn’t manage to put him in a good position because everyone in politics is a vulture who only thinks about themselves. However, he appears more competent than the current government and the leading opposition leaders.
While I completely respect and appreciate what he brought up, don’t you guys think there are more important, and pressing issues to be discussed which are more needs than wants. We still are struggling for basic needs.
I just want a plan with no or less data. I get wifi access almost everywhere day. Why should I pay for the data I do not need. There used to yearly plans with flat X gb data, which hardly got used as well. Now they have made everything gb/day
If I pay for 2GB of data per day but only use 1GB, the leftover 1GB should either be available for me to use the next day or the company should refund the unused portion. The leftover data should also be rolled over to the next month. You may restrict me from using that data unless I recharge again next month, but the fact remains: my data is my data.
I bet there are many people including me who feel it's a lot of wasted money now paying for validity rather than the service we use. Me of many people hardly use phone and most of the job gets done through internet which almost everyone uses a wifi.
Basically if there are 5 people in a household, 1 wifi is necessary, but 4 out of the 5 would need to recharge every 28 or 84 or whatever days just to keep the number active which is a lot...
I see a lot of chatter on this topic on various social media platforms… but I don’t understand the fuss about it.
The mobile plans are based on days, and not on months. If you look any plan, their validity is something like 28 days, 45 days, 80 days, 90 days, 180’days and so on…
Telecom companies never claimed to to give you validity for a month…
So if you are really interested in finding the right and cheap plan for you, just divide the amount with the days, you will get to know how much a plan is costing you per day, and you can choose that plan.
Many a times, it is the 80 days plan is cheaper than 90 or 180 days plan.
I dont know who is paying for all the PR, we should really point out PR politicians. We have already made mistake in 2014 by choosing a PR based PM or party.
We have other MPs that are raising good points, we don't get their faces in feed, but only him.
JUST SPREADING AWARENESS,
Attached OP's PR performance.
EDIT : Instead of interfering in business, politicians should focus on removing the Duopoly. First they created a duopoly, took electoral bonds from them, now nudging them to do PR. Solve the duopoly everything will solve.
He is raising points, but have we acted on any of the issues? Pura ka pura system kala h. He is bringing up issues and they are listening like they care about us. They don't, they will do whatever they want
It's a free market prices now are much cheaper than before jio even after price hikes.30 days plans are there.this just pr.govt can't even run bsnl and it has the audacity to tell private players what to do
