Airtel已提出要求,建议对手机和制造商包括熔岩,Karbonn HMD全球有兴趣和准备设备和规范。
Airtel是主要是为了保护其2 g用户近1.2亿,可能容易受到Jio试图吸引他们与一个负担得起的4 g网络智能手机。Jio声称JioPhone Next -设计与谷歌将是世界上最便宜的智能手机规格与高价位的设备。
Airtel还决定规格可能智能手机与手机品牌合作,但正在等待Jio定价和提供。
Jio最近推迟推出其智能手机从9月10日在排灯节。
”旅馆的设备准备好了但问题是补贴,如果他们能够匹配Jio提供。Airtel整理规范,但很难匹配他们的定价与补贴…但它会想出一个祭,”一位知情人士说。

“…已经说过,这是一个竞争激烈的行业,我们将看看会发生什么在市场上通过一个光学和能力和良好的营销组合,平台周围锁,“Vittal所说的。
业内高管表示,提供贷款已经成为棘手的银行没有真正看好的客户Airtel将瞄准,因为大多数人不会有信用记录和银行可能没有一个强大的机制来恢复会费。
Ashwinder Sethi咨询和分析公司Analysys Mason说的前期成本合理的入门级智能手机- 6000 Rs - 7000是一个很大的威慑印度当前的许多featurephone用户升级。
“虽然Bharti Airtel已提到将远离subsidy-driven方法,它将需要降低进入门槛可能通过合作融资的低成本智能手机智能手机或OEM合作伙伴提供良好的经验。否则,它可以看到更高的生产以及宽松的总值的份额增加,尤其是在低端预付费用户,”塞提说。

<\/figure>New Delhi: Bharti Airtel<\/a> is considering co-branded deals with handset makers and bundled data and voice offers to bring down the effective price of a smartphone, as the company seeks to ringfence its 2G subscribers ahead of the JioPhone Next launch<\/a>.
The Sunil Mittal-led telecom operator, however, is clear that it wants to avoid the handset subsidy game as opposed to rival Reliance Jio<\/a>, which is expected to heavily subsidise the JioPhone Next<\/a> to keep the price low in a bid to entice Airtel<\/a> and Vodafone Idea<\/a>\u2019s 2G users, people familiar with the matter said.
Airtel has floated a request for proposal for handsets and manufacturers including Lava, Karbonn and HMD Global have shown interest and are ready with possible devices<\/a> and specifications, they said.
<\/div><\/div>Airtel, Lava and HMD didn\u2019t respond to ET\u2019s queries till press time Monday, while a Karbonn spokesperson declined to comment.
Airtel is trying primarily to protect its nearly 120 million 2G users, who may be vulnerable to Jio\u2019s attempts to attract them to its network with an affordable 4G smartphone. Jio is claiming that the JioPhone Next \u2014 designed with Google \u2014 will be the world\u2019s most affordable smartphone with specs associated with far higher-priced devices.
Airtel has also decided the specifications for a possible smartphone in tie-ups with handset brands, but is awaiting Jio's pricing and offers, the people said.
Jio recently postponed the launch of its smartphone to around Diwali from September 10.
<\/figure>
\u201cAirtel\u2019s device offering is ready but the question is subsidy and if they would be able to match Jio\u2019s offering. Airtel has sorted out specifications but it will be difficult to match the pricing with subsidy for them \u2026 but it will come up with an offering,\" one of the people said.
Meanwhile, some industry trackers said the ongoing component shortage and consequent price increases might restrict the headroom for the amount of subsidy Jio could provide. Jio is believed to be targeting to sell the 4G smartphone at Rs3,500-4,000.

<\/div><\/div>One of the people ET spoke to said Airtel would try to capitalise on the buzz in the market created by Jio to migrate its featurephone users to the 4G network with partner smartphone brands. The company had in the past launched a \"mera pehle smartphone (my first smartphone)\" initiative, which it could revive.
Industry executives said handset makers would commit volumes for the Airtel tie-up depending only on the carrier\u2019s final offering, since they would want to avoid \u201cinventory risks\u201d, especially when the industry was dealing with a component shortage and supply delays.

Airtel chief executive Gopal Vittal recently said he didn\u2019t believe that the handset subsidy route was the right one, adding that Airtel had clarity on \u201chow to deal with this (JioPhone Next)\". The company had done pilots with original equipment makers (OEMs) for affordable handsets besides partnering with banks to offer lending options to customers, he had said.
\u201c\u2026having said that, it is a competitive industry, we will look at what happens in the marketplace through a combination of good marketing optics and capability and platforms around locks,\u201d Vittal had said.
Industry executives, however, said offering loans had become tricky as lenders weren\u2019t really bullish on the segment of customers Airtel would be targeting, since most of them would not have a credit history and the lenders might not have a strong mechanism to recover dues.
Ashwinder Sethi of consulting and analyst firm Analysys Mason said the upfront cost of a reasonable entry-level smartphone \u2014 about Rs 6,000-7,000 \u2014 was a big deterrent for many of the current featurephone users in India to upgrade.
\u201cWhile Bharti Airtel has mentioned that it will stay away from a subsidy-driven approach, it will need to reduce the entry barrier possibly through partnerships for financing of smartphones or OEM partnerships for low-cost smartphones that offer good experience. Otherwise, it could see higher churn as well as a loose share of gross adds, especially on low-end prepaid users,\u201d Sethi added.

Airtel chief executive Gopal Vittal recently said he didn\u2019t believe that the handset subsidy route was the right one, adding that Airtel had clarity on \u201chow to deal with this (JioPhone Next)\". The company had done pilots with original equipment makers (OEMs) for affordable handsets besides partnering with banks to offer lending options to customers, he had said.
\u201c\u2026having said that, it is a competitive industry, we will look at what happens in the marketplace through a combination of good marketing optics and capability and platforms around locks,\u201d Vittal had said.
Industry executives, however, said offering loans had become tricky as lenders weren\u2019t really bullish on the segment of customers Airtel would be targeting, since most of them would not have a credit history and the lenders might not have a strong mechanism to recover dues.
Ashwinder Sethi of consulting and analyst firm Analysys Mason said the upfront cost of a reasonable entry-level smartphone \u2014 about Rs 6,000-7,000 \u2014 was a big deterrent for many of the current featurephone users in India to upgrade.
\u201cWhile Bharti Airtel has mentioned that it will stay away from a subsidy-driven approach, it will need to reduce the entry barrier possibly through partnerships for financing of smartphones or OEM partnerships for low-cost smartphones that offer good experience. Otherwise, it could see higher churn as well as a loose share of gross adds, especially on low-end prepaid users,\u201d Sethi added.

Airtel chief executive Gopal Vittal recently said he didn\u2019t believe that the handset subsidy route was the right one, adding that Airtel had clarity on \u201chow to deal with this (JioPhone Next)\". The company had done pilots with original equipment makers (OEMs) for affordable handsets besides partnering with banks to offer lending options to customers, he had said.
\u201c\u2026having said that, it is a competitive industry, we will look at what happens in the marketplace through a combination of good marketing optics and capability and platforms around locks,\u201d Vittal had said.
Industry executives, however, said offering loans had become tricky as lenders weren\u2019t really bullish on the segment of customers Airtel would be targeting, since most of them would not have a credit history and the lenders might not have a strong mechanism to recover dues.
Ashwinder Sethi of consulting and analyst firm Analysys Mason said the upfront cost of a reasonable entry-level smartphone \u2014 about Rs 6,000-7,000 \u2014 was a big deterrent for many of the current featurephone users in India to upgrade.
\u201cWhile Bharti Airtel has mentioned that it will stay away from a subsidy-driven approach, it will need to reduce the entry barrier possibly through partnerships for financing of smartphones or OEM partnerships for low-cost smartphones that offer good experience. Otherwise, it could see higher churn as well as a loose share of gross adds, especially on low-end prepaid users,\u201d Sethi added.

<\/a><\/div>Jio eyes large addressable market of 540 million mobile users with the JioPhone Next<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/a><\/div>JioPhone Next delayed: Challenges ahead for Jio to manage component supply shortage and price, say industry experts<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
Airtel chief executive Gopal Vittal recently said he didn\u2019t believe that the handset subsidy route was the right one, adding that Airtel had clarity on \u201chow to deal with this (JioPhone Next)\". The company had done pilots with original equipment makers (OEMs) for affordable handsets besides partnering with banks to offer lending options to customers, he had said.
\u201c\u2026having said that, it is a competitive industry, we will look at what happens in the marketplace through a combination of good marketing optics and capability and platforms around locks,\u201d Vittal had said.
Industry executives, however, said offering loans had become tricky as lenders weren\u2019t really bullish on the segment of customers Airtel would be targeting, since most of them would not have a credit history and the lenders might not have a strong mechanism to recover dues.
Ashwinder Sethi of consulting and analyst firm Analysys Mason said the upfront cost of a reasonable entry-level smartphone \u2014 about Rs 6,000-7,000 \u2014 was a big deterrent for many of the current featurephone users in India to upgrade.
\u201cWhile Bharti Airtel has mentioned that it will stay away from a subsidy-driven approach, it will need to reduce the entry barrier possibly through partnerships for financing of smartphones or OEM partnerships for low-cost smartphones that offer good experience. Otherwise, it could see higher churn as well as a loose share of gross adds, especially on low-end prepaid users,\u201d Sethi added.
