Like Electricity, Internet connectivity should be considered as a utility. I don't mean the wireless connection (3G/4G/Hotspot). Wired connection (Broadband) is the true measure of connectivity.
For someone like me subscribing to DTH/Cable felt pointless. I was spending ₹250-300/month with no content of interest to me. I watch news channels and my family watch 2-3 soap operas. News Channels are available on YouTube. Those 2-3 shows are on Hotstar or Zee5. The yearly plan of these OTT services when shared among your friends becomes relatively cheaper. And I had internet connection as most of my work relies heavily on it. So to someone like me JioCinema is definitely offering WPL and IPL for FREE. As I was not subscribing to Internet just to watch sports/shows.
Cord Cutters (Top of the funnel) will definitely feel WPL/IPL is available for FREE.
It's a welcome move from Disney Star to finally do something with what they own.
