Here is what I envisaged 2 years back ( re: disruptions likely to be caused by Reliance ) :


What Business Are You In ? …………………………………………………..[  22  July  2017  ]



Extract from my blog :

It is high time for the giants of  Telecom Industry  to ask of themselves :

WHAT  BUSINESS  ARE  WE  IN  ?



Are we in the business of  “ MOBILE  TELEPHONY “  or are we in the business

of  “ MOBILE  ENTERTAINMENT “ ?



Then , after 5 years , what business should we be in ?



Should we continue to remain in   “ MOBILE  ENTERTAINMENT  or should we consider

ourselves in the business of “ MOBILE  SOLUTIONS “  for ANY / EVERY problem faced by a

user ?



And should we continue our “ Backward  Integration “  into the  ENTERTAINMENT

INDUSTRY  or should we  integrate with Start Ups  in  HEALTH-CARE / EDUCATION /

EMPLOYMENT  ?



The writing is on the Wall – for professional executives who can read !


In another blog   [  Disruption : The Inevitable / 08 July 2018 ], I prepared the following

partial list of Industries which have been disrupted :



Extract :


What will this do to 1 Gbps  JioGigaFibre announced by Reliance just 3 days back ?
