"India is ready for mass deployment of 5G. Jio is ready. Let us start on the next phase of digital transformation where the 5G ecosystem transforms the way we work and play," Jio president Mathew Oommen said. He said that Jio is offering 1GB of data at Rs. 250, which means that we are offering connectivity at a very less price.

Despite the fact, the Government has not announced the trials of the 5G network and is trying to update the laws of the telecom industry.
