But jio is also cheaper by a factor of 10-20. It is unbelievable pricing, they cannot be subsidizing it by 90%, and they probably don't have 90% margin initially, after including infrastructure costs.

Factor of 10???

China mobile Pakistan - 200 Gb package for $65

Jio - ~30 gb for $6 a month, you can't humanly consume exactly 1.5 Gb per day.

200 : 65 = ~3.1

30 : 6 = ~5

Best case scenario, 45 : 6 = 7.5

So it is twice as cheap, but not by a factor of 10

OP said $5 for 84 days though, not a month.
I missed that, than ...it's true.

I'm shedding bitter tears.

>you can't humanly consume exactly 1.5 Gb per day.

Why not? Stream at high def for a few hours and you should be done.
