What will happen when Jio and Airtel will be the only players in Telecomm Market?

What will happen when Jio and Airtel will be the only players in Telecomm Market?

              Since from 5 September 2016 (Jio became publicly available), Jio started giving internet at a very low cost and from that day to the present day it has grown exponentially. 

• The first reason of Jio's growth: Very low rates, in comparison to the other players in the market.
• Second reason fo Jio's growth: 4G connectivity at low cost. I still remember the day when I used to pay around Rs. 600 for 5GB 3G data for one month. 
• Third reason: Free SIM. Previously subscribers used to pay to buy SIM as well as so-called validity for the month or two. As soon as Jio came to market it started giving SIM at zero cost.
• Ease of activation of SIM card: 2016 was the year in which usage of Aadhar card was at its peak for activating SIM cards and this process was easier than the previous methods.

                   Being a multi-billionaire company, though it has given so many benefits to its users by not just giving access to 4G but with its additional services such as Jio Cloud, Jio Music(Jio Saavan), Jio Tv, Jio Movies etc. 

                    But, now, as it has consumed other competitors from the market except Airtel, and Vodafone-Idea and Vodafone-Idea is in debt of $13 billion in total, it may happen that either it will stop operating in India or maybe it will pay.

                   

                  Soon, Jio and Airtel will rule the Telecomm sector in India and they are going to raise the prices and no competitor will be there to compete. Both are going to earn the profit mutually and once again common people of this country are going to suffer.
