Existing operators shot off another letter to
the government on Monday and said 2.5 million users for Reliance Jio
constituted a commercial launch, seeking to counter the company's claim that it
is testing its network now to offer superior quality services later.
Under the umbrella of Cellular Operators'
Association of India (COAI), the letter addressed to Nripendra Misra, Principal
Secretary to the Prime Minister, alleged the government, in the process, was
also losing revenue. The Total

It said the data generated by Jio is
rivalling the combined traffic of the rest of the operators who have been in
operation for 15-20 years. Under the name of LYF (Jio brand for handsets), the
company is using spectrum allocated for commercial use yet not yielding any
revenue and consequently no share to the government.
Talking about the bundle offerings by Jio,
COAI said: "Such bundled sale and purchase have not been to a few hundred,
but to millions of customers, across thousands of cities, fetching hundreds of
crores of rupees, making them large scale nationwide commercial operations
going on for months."
Reliance Jio on Aug 18 has strongly refuted
the claims of the COAI that its members are providing sufficient
inter-connection points for its 4G services, saying the reality was that such
access was grossly inadequate. The

The reaction follows a statement by the
industry body a day before on behalf of its members, rejecting the request from
Reliance Jio for additional points of inter-connect from its member companies
on the ground that optimal links have already been provided.
Prior to this, in a letter to the watchdog,
Reliance Jio had requested for directives to the existing service providers to
immediately provide interconnection to its Jio 4G network with their own, in
the spirit of the licensing agreements.

But the members of COAI, through letters to
the government and the watchdog, had alleged that Reliance Jio had already
launched a full commercial service in the garb of test runs. The Total Investment & Insurance
