Bharti Airtel announced that it would go in for a decrease in Roaming charges and rates. This step is seen to start off a price war. We have seen such price tiffs between the operators. To be specific, the STD charges would be dropped down to Rs.1.5 and the roaming charges would go down by 43%.
The immediate effect of the step would be announcements from competing operators. Since the market works on such rules, one can predict the effects that would follow. Seems that Reliance is all ready with a brand new strategy to combat this step taken by Airtel.
