Next year, many new services are expected to be launched in the telecom sector, but there is also speculation that this will increase the burden on the customers’ pockets. India has been waiting for satellite internet service for some time, and this wait may end next year. Meanwhile, telecom companies are also preparing to shock the customers by increasing the prices of their recharge plans. Let us know what major changes are expected in the telecom sector in 2026.
Telecom companies will increase tariffs
Recent reports show that the revenue of telecom companies has decreased. Due to this, all four telecom companies of the country, including Jio and Airtel, will increase the prices of their recharge plans. This means that both prepaid and postpaid users will have to pay more for the service. It is believed that these companies can increase their tariffs by up to 20 percent.
BSNL 5G
Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea have already launched 5G services in the country. BSNL is lagging behind in this matter, but now that the 4G rollout is complete, it is believed that the company may launch 5G service soon. The Telecom Minister has also indicated about this.
5G data will not be free
At present, telecom companies are offering unlimited 5G data free with their recharge plans, but this may end next year. Companies have already started charging for 5G access. According to reports, next year customers will have to pay separately for 5G data.
The wait for satellite internet may be over
Many companies including Starlink and Jio have got licenses for satellite internet service in India. As soon as regulatory approvals are received, satellite internet service will be launched in the country. It is believed that this service can be launched in India in the early months of next year.
