You think it makes sense for them to advertise Airtel Fiber to existing broadband users who are aware of the service or advertise it to a broad new set of consumers on TV?

They don't want their users to use Jio Cinema on digital platform and but wants to buy ADTV by all its fiber customers.

We know they are silently fantasising this.

Telecom users are getting hurt most from free IPL. No way our operators can handle half a billion expected traffic specially during peak hours. Not does all areas has 5G. Nor does most moblile users have 5G enabled handset.

Airtel's network is pathetic among the top 3. Their network already is failing at the seams.

They pray that nobody uses their broadband network. TV is more friendly for them since not much investment in fiber is needed.

This is the most flawed argument i have ever heard. Why would a mobile operator not want more people to stream various sites/content using its own network ....it actually benefits them as data consumption by users brings more revenue as voice calling is not that attractive anymore. Also 2nd part of argument has no connection with the comment u made above as to why airtel fiber has tied up with star sports over Jio Cinema, they advertise on both TV and Digital to attract new customers to all its businesses (mobile, DTH, Broadband) and bringing them under Airtel Black portfolio bring advantage to company as well as end user.

Tying up for a big event like IPL as a sponsor on TV or Digital is just part of brand strategy, all companies evaluate options and choose what they think is best one.

Hahaha! Do u know how much they r investing in expanding/upgrading its mobile + broadband network and in both areas they r growing at very good pace. You just seem to somehow make comments which r against airtel but as their services r good hence larger public r joining/using their various services
