Reliance: On growth trajectory?

Tags: , , , , , , , ,

is associated with also ran telecom companies; I still have to see them recover from the massive negative publicity generated because of their handset schemes and poor billing resolution mechanisms. Despite their hype about being a 100,000 crore company (I wonder how do these valuations come in), they are a no where in the retail and laggards in the space too behind of course, the market “leader” .

must be eating out of his hands. He is spreading himself thin with annoucement of massive power projects and his arguments with his elder sibling Mukesh who is rolling out a retail juggernaut. If the media reports are to be believed, Mukesh is far more capable of rolling out massive projects than Anil; however, I don’t trust these reports anyway.

Anil is still claiming that the next generation delivered over Gbps speeds would forever change the TV viewing habits of the populace. I have reason to be circumspect. With suboptimal branding of his existing Broadband lines and marketing 150kbps as “broadband”, his claims fall flat on it’s face. I still have to see anything substantial in their offerings either in their fixed line or .

Hence all these claims need to be taken with a pinch of salt. Since there is no independent verification of the same, I’d rather rely on the ground action than delusions of grandeur.
