Telecom Sector Needs Government Attention, Says Reliance Jio

"The license fee on telecom companies should be brought down to 1 percent, against the 8 percent now, while the Rs 35,000 crore worth of GST refunds and Rs 50,000 crore of money the government holds in Universal Service Obligation Fund kitty should be used to reduce the stress of the industry," Mathew Oommen, President of Reliance Jio was quoted by TOI. Adding to that, "The sector needs attention, and there is no question about this."

 

The report further states that Jio is looking for an easy taxation system and reforms in the sector. Reliance Jio also believes that the government should not put an additional load on the sector.
