when is reliance going to offer such an offer for postpaid subscribers

[KumaarShah 143]

We can only dream about such offers.

Rel will never offer such sops to us. They will only offer us ONNET packs and we have to be happy with that. They cannot afford to give us more such sops, you see. They want to show an ARPU of atleast Rs. 500 to 600 if not more for their IPO to show a tremendous oversubscription.

Let us dream and hopefully one day, Rel may decide to give such sops.

^^^ might very well be true, but looks like Mr. Anil Ambani is more inclined to add customers than worry abt ARPUs, (as he is giving unbelievable TT free with new connections). going by the additions per month, he can actually boast of number of subscribers rather than ARPUs for his IPO. which will be gladly accepted by the trade pundits as a sure sign of success
