Reliance Jio Launches Messaging, Calling App Jio Chat
Telecom operators have been up in arms against OTT players like Skype, Viber, WhatsApp that are offering messaging and calling service. Telecom operators allege that these companies are eating in to their revenue and OTT players should be brought under licencing regime so that there is level playing field between the two.
With free Jio Chat application, RJio has entered into OTT space to counter spread other mobile messaging applications.
RJio holds pan-India broadband wireless access spectrum that can be used for 4G services.
In February 2014, it also acquired spectrum in 1800 Mhz band, widely known as 2G spectrum, for Rs 11,054.41 crore across 14 out of 22 service areas in country.
