In his speech, Ambani is expected to thank everyone for using the company’s services under the Welcome Offer, but is unlikely to extend the free services by three months as widely expected.
“The Welcome Offer was to get your feedback,” Ambani is expected to say in his speech that will start at 2 PM today.
Jio has not only become the largest broadband company in India in a matter of three months, but it has also become the largest telecom operator by data carried, he is expected to say in his speech.
Ambani is also expected to give an update on the call blocking carried out by Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular.
“900 cr voice calls were blocked by Jio’s three main competitors,” the RIL chairman is expected to tell the audience in his speech today.
