Because every one of those large telecom players in India are absolutely awful. Trust me, I've had firsthand experience dealing with them and they make Comcast look like saints.
I think this will actually be very successful if they manage to execute it well.
I'm the cofounder of wifi dabba. It's fairly simple why people use our service and we're able to run profitably. 3G/4G is too damned expensive for the average Indian. It's fine for the middle class in our country, but for the vast majority of the population, mobile data eats into their daily expenses rather heavily.
What is the range of the wifi? Will I be asked to stand around bakery and tea shop to use it or it is available everywhere at all time? Already data rates are being slashed in big way in India by Jio. We can use 4G internet at the price of Rs.10 per day. They may slash further also. They can deliver the same service anywhere or everywhere straight to the smartphone without relying on other shops around. Your website do not have clarity on range and speed u support.
There was an AMA yesterday on Reddit by the founder of Camelcamelcamel. He said that the Instant Pot was tied with the Amazon Echo for having the most people tracking it. Pretty impressive.
If this is true, then it's horrifying. I didn't agree with the crowd and delete Uber earlier for the protest stuff, but if this is true, then bye-bye Uber.
This isn't super clear and left me confused.
