Arun 795 Report post Posted March 27, 2009 The Hindu Business Line Friday, March 27, 2009 Anil Ambani-run Reliance Communications is targeting 15-20 per cent of its revenue from its data and value-added services verticals. According to company sources, RCom is giving a major push to its data business and expects it, along with the VAS business, to contribute 15-20 per cent of overall revenues. To achieve its revenue target, RCom is planning to target high-value customers of rival companies. The company is planning to launch a swap offer 'Change2Broadband' wherein data-card customers of competitors will be upgraded to Reliance's Netconnect Broadband Plus service, sources said. Under 'Change2Broadband', RCom will offer a Rs 3,600 annualised savings scheme to these churn customers. A potential high-value customer for RCom is one who is currently subscribing to tariff plans of over Rs 1,099. This could translate into a revenue contribution of over Rs 800 crore every quarter. RCom is also planning a similar swap offer to upgrade its own Reliance Netconnect customers to Netconnect Broadband Plus. RCom has tied up with Alcatel Lucent to establish its data network.

Anil_S 6 Report post Posted March 27, 2009 Better reliance concentrate on its own customers who are using netconnect through mobile. It needs to give an option to use evdo through a combo plan where they can use usb modem for netconnect & the bill for the same gets added in to their mobile bill. Its problem with most of the customers how get their mobile bills paid by their employers, most of the employers pay only for one mobile. Second service (data card) is not paid so they are forced to use their handsets as a modem for net connect. If a combo plan is launched many of these customers will go for EVDO cards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supernova 47 Report post Posted March 27, 2009 yes their motive must be to prevent their churn also ... and also by uprgarding the data card they are ensuring that customer would stay long on their network. moreover they might add some customers also from the 1x cards of those people who upgraded to evdo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACS 130 Report post Posted March 30, 2009 ^^^ But Arun.. the RComm site doesn't provide any method/options for changing to EVDO from 1x. Are you giving this link only for info ? No fresh updates yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
