Reliance Jio free services to impact telecos Q4 FY'17 earnings:

of telecom companies muted for the first quarter (April-June) of the
current fiscal, according to ICICI Securities' latest earnings preview

Billionaire
Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio on March 31 announced it had notched an
unprecedented 72 million paid subscribers, and extended its deadline to
April 15 for migrating other subscribers to its paid offer.
It had

three months to those who pay Rs 303 prior to April 15, thus offering
data at rock-bottom prices. Paid tariff plan will kick-in only in July.

ire of other operators who alleged that such freebies not only hit their
profitability and disrupted the market but were also against the
regulations.
