Till now you used to get data daily in your mobile recharge plan, but soon it is possible that you will start getting the same internet data on an hourly basis. Both Jio and Airtel have taken this opposite path. At present, the internet available on an hourly basis has come only for data plans, but in the coming time, all mobile internet plans may give internet data in this way. Let us know in detail about these new plans and their impact on customers.

What is the new plan?

India's two largest telecom companies Reliance Jio and Airtel have come up with a prepaid data plan of Rs 11. In this, 10GB high-speed data will be available, that too for just 1 hour. At first glance, this may seem like a small add-on offer, especially for those users who use a lot of data. However, if you look carefully, it may not be just a plan, but a big sign. This new plan shows that now the price, delivery, and usage of mobile data in India are going to change.

How will the trend change

For the past several years, mobile data plans in India have been available on a daily or monthly basis, such as 1.5GB per day, unlimited packs, etc. Now a data plan available at Rs 11 per hour can change this entire trend. Now telecom companies can start selling time in exchange for data. That is, use as much data as you want in an hour. This new model can also prove to be useful in today's digital world, such as watching a short HD video, uploading content on the go, as a backup when the broadband is turned off, any important software update or suddenly needing high-speed internet. Now the user will not need to take a plan for the whole day. He will be able to pay for data only for a specific time.

Benefit or loss to customers

According to experts, this Rs 11 data plan will give customers more control. For example, a freelancer can activate a plan just for the duration of a Zoom call, a student can download project files instantly without buying a full-day data pack, and a content creator can get high-speed unlimited internet to upload videos instantly. These plans may not be for everyone but they do bring flexibility to telecom plans. It is not about cheap data, it is about data used wisely. Jio and Airtel's 10GB plan for ₹11 is now starting a new era where the plan will be priced based on user behavior. This change can completely change the mobile data experience for India's next 100 million internet users in the coming time.
