Currently marketed technologies like LTE (Long Term Evolution) and WiMAX are around for many years and are being marketed as 4G while not meeting the necessities set by the ITU. it had been recently proclaimed that these services might still be marketed as 4G as they're precursors to the IMT Advanced, 4G standard while additionally operating on a similar basis of technology; but, these should really be thought-about as "Pre-4G" or "3.9G" as they technically don't provide the specified information rates of (stationary) 1Gbps. The ITU has recognized 2 standards that are planned to fulfill the 4G IMT advanced needs suggests by the 2 teams, 3GPP and IEEE. These are the LTE Advanced and Wireless MAN10

Advanced (WiMAX Advanced) standards and will almost certainly abandon the recent unfold system technology found in 3G systems for OFDMA and other equalisation schemes, use MIMO technology, channel-dependent programming and dynamic channel allocation all technologies that are being found on new, modern wireless networking equipment.

In March 2016, Jio started providing free Wi-Fi web to spectators at six cricket stadiums hosting the 2016 icc World Twenty20 matches. Jionet was made available in Wankhede sports stadium (Mumbai), Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra sports stadium, Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association sports stadium (Dharamshala), Chinnaswamy bowl (Bengaluru), Feroz Shah of Iran Kotla (Delhi), and Eden Gardens (Kolkata) in India.

1.14.6 Jio Giga Fiber Jio launched Jio Giga Fibre on 15 August 2018 that offers high speed broadband, land line and DTH services at affordable prices.

1.15 Applications: The use of the 4G service are very kind of like that of the 3G service while providing a lot of higher data transfer rates and thus permitting either additional speed intensive applications or more users to experience smart speeds while only connected through one carrier. Applications may include: 

4G extremist high speed web access – E-mail or general internet browsing is offered.



4G data intensive interactive user services – Services like on-line satellite mapping can load instantly.



4G Multiple user Video conferencing – subscribers can as well as talk over with more than one person.



4G location-based services – a supplier sends wide spread, real time weather or traffic conditions to the pc or phone, or permits the subscriber to seek out and look at nearby businesses or friends while communicating with them.





4G high-definition television – a supplier redirects a high definition channel on to the subscriber where it will be watched. 12



4G High definition video on demand – a supplier sends game information on to the subscriber where they'll play in real time.

The other main application that 4G might create on the market that 3G generally didn't, or couldn't, is that the capability to be used as a main web access point inside homes or businesses while catering for multiple connections at high speeds. If the 1Gbps rate is offered inside these areas, the speeds would be repeatedly more than people who are presently publically available and this application might be very helpful for making 4G wireless networks which will be situated in rural areas with no access to the high speed, cabled, broadband grid.

1.16 Performance The IMT-Advanced standard (4G) needs the subsequent specifications to be met: 

It should be primarily based upon all-IP packet switched network.





A top quality of service should be offered to permit consecutive generation of transmission support on mobile devices.

1.17 Sales and Promotion Sales promotion is one level or kind of selling aimed either at the patron or at the marketing (in the form of sales-incentives). It is used to introduce new product, filter out inventories, attract traffic, and to elevate sales briefly. It is more closely related to the selling of products than of services. The necessity for promotion arises from the intensity of competition. Sellers should somehow attract customers' attention. 13

You may have additionally determined in your neighboring markets notices of “winter sale”, “summer sale”, “trade fairs”, “discount up to 50%” and plenty of different schemes to draw in customers to shop for bound merchandise.

Sales promotion offers a right away inducement to act by providing additional value over and higher than what's designed into the merchandise at its traditional value. These temporary inducements are offered typically at a time and place where the buying decision is formed. Consumer commercials are steered toward the ultimate product users—typically individual shoppers within the native market—but the same techniques are often used to promote products sold-out by one business to a different, like laptop systems, cleaning supplies, and machinery.

Sales promotion includes incentive-offering and interest-creating activities that are usually short-run selling events apart from advertising, personal marketing, promotion and marketing. The purpose of advertisement is to stimulate, encourage and influence the acquisition and different desired activity responses of the firm’s customers.”

1.17.1 Purpose of sales promotion: 

Attract new tries or complete switchers



Reward loyal customers



Increase repurchases rates

Sales promotion refers to several sorts of incentives and techniques directed towards customers and traders with the intention to supply immediate or short sales effects. Publicity is a promotional marketing technique designed to form sales for a product over an outlined period of your time. Publicity activities are measurable in terms of product moved, coupons saved, number of contest entries, or alternative quantifiable count.

Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani commit an investment of Rs. 250,000 crores on "Digital India" and said he expected the group's initiatives under that can produce over 500,000 direct and indirect jobs. "I believe Digital India is an enormous success owing to the adoption of technology by the youth of India," Ambani said at an incident that saw Prime Minister Narendra Modi launch the "Digital India" week to empower citizens by the

14

utilization of IT and its tools. "Digital India as we have seen empowers them to satisfy their aspirations. We at Reliance can invest over Rs. 2,50,000 crores across the Digital India pillars," he said, adding: "I estimate Reliance's 'Digital India' investments can produce employment for over 500,000 people." Ambani said the launch of Digital India initiative was a big occasion in a modern era where conversion was changing the method one lives, learns, works and plays. It will remodel the lives of 1.2 billion Indians using the ability of digital technology. He said his group, underneath the Reliance Jio platform, can roll out a web protocol based wireless broadband infrastructure across all twenty nine states in India. Reliance Jio will set up a nationwide distribution network for 150,000 little vendors to sell and repair devices. "Jio is working with leading device makers, encouraging them to 'Make in India' smart phones and web devices at a reasonable value. We’ll offer them an assured off take through our retail system." Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio Infocomm gave us all a touch tease of what's to come with its 4G services at Techfest, an annual science & technology competition held at the IIT-Bombay. The service is 10-12x faster than 3G eighteen networks. Here’s what Reliance, the sole company that holds a pan India 4G license, showed off. 

Jio Television: Set-top box running on android. The service can have live tv (Jio Play) and Video on Demand (Jio World).



Jio drive: a hundred GB free storage to subscribers.



Mi-Fi: The Company’s customer premise instrumentation can connect to a Reliance operated mobile tower and supply local Wi-Fi network.

Next massive what has learned that Reliance Jio 4G plans additionally include the launch of a set of services together with 1. Music Streaming 2. Video calling & VoIP Services 3. Instant messenger 4. Payment Services: Reliance

Jio already has obtained a license to control postpaid wallets for mobile transactions (this needn't necessarily be connected to the 4G launch). Reliance is additionally launching its own mobile apps to modify several of those services. According to Reliance, the 4G infrastructure will support its portfolio of multimedia system digital services in education, health-care,

15

recreation, and payment and cloud services. With these launches, Reliance won't only be creating its much anticipated entry to 4G mobile services; it is also probably to corner an oversized share of the media market in India. The thought is to capture the lounge of the consumer that is otherwise the undisputed territory of cable TV. 4G services on the Reliance network might additionally provide a leg-up to the digital economy in India. Whereas the launch dates for the company’s huge invade 4G hasn’t been proclaimed, it may be as early as the first half of this year.

CHAPTER 3

LITERATURE REVIEW 3.1 Introduction Globalization, privatization and easing accelerated all spherical reforms in several sectors, especially in developing economies, within the world. Developing countries- like India have completed the importance of communication within the later a part of twentieth century. Per DoT (2013), nowadays Indian Telecommunication Sector is one among the quickest growing medium sectors and it's become the second largest network within the world, next to China. The govt. of India very has inspired the medium sector to penetrate within the new markets across the country by adopting acceptable policies. Thus this sector is found to be in an exceedingly growing path and with its potential can still do therefore within the future additionally. Keeping these visible, the current study analyzes the history & evolution of Indian medium Sector, its growth & developments in gift situation in conjunction with the longer term opportunities of the arena in India.

The growth in demand for medium services in India isn't restricted to basic telephone services. India has witnessed ascent in cellular, radio paging; price additional services, net and international communication by satel item (GMPCS) services. The agents of amendment, as determined from international perspective, are broadly speaking categorized into economic structure, competition policy and technology. Economic reforms and liberalization have driven medium sector through many transmission channels of that these 3 classes are of major significance.

The effective analysis can't be accomplished while not critically learning what already exists within the kind of general literature and specific studies. Therefore, it's thought of as a very important pre-requisite for actual designing and execution of scientific research. This helps to formulate hypotheses and framework for any investigation. During this analysis, the survey of literature has been classified into 2 components - studies associated with medium sector and studies associated with selling ways.

18

3.1.1 Abhishek Kumar Singh and Malhar Pangrikar (2013) did a study titled "A Study Report, to Find out Market Potential for 4g Businesses in Pune". The Report is all about "Study of market potential for 4G business in Pune" and also to know about the customer perceptions and attitudes towards their current service provider. Satisfaction level of the customers was also judged. The customer expectations were analyzed thoroughly. Major factors considered in research are: what are the needs of the companies based on the data services usage, the major player in internet services, and support to customers. The research was conducted on companies mainly from Industries like IT, Education, Manufacturing, and others which are located in Pune city. It is clear from the survey done that Reliance & Tata are Leading Internet Service Provider; they are providing products like Data Card, Broadband etc. to the corporate end users. Most of the companies are getting internet speed form 1MBPS-4MBPS. Most of the companies are having a good perception about 4 G and are willing to switch to it from their current service provider. The speed of 4G is around than 30 to 35 MBPS, is going to boom the Market because the majority of the companies are facing Speed problem with their current ISP. Purpose of the Study: 1. To study the market potential for 4G Business. 2. To find out the customer satisfaction level with their existing ISP. 3. To find out the Market share of Companies Using Different Operators Internet services. Conclusion: 4G revolution is started in Pune by Airtel. Drastic changes and improvements from 3G Technology need to be a priority. But if done intelligently and thoroughly, 4G holds enormous potential for Pune and can really create a boom in the IT industry, key to the Indian economy. Hence the evolution from 3G to 4G will be stimulated by services offering enhanced quality, requires increased bandwidth, needs the elevated sophistication of large-scale information provisions and must have improved customization capabilities to support user demands. 3.1.2 Irfan Ullah (2012) Did a study titled "A study and analysis of Public Wi-Fi". The objective of this survey is to compare different technologies with Wi-Fi in terms of cost factor, bandwidth and performance factor, and technology implementation factor The goal of this thesis is to analyze and compare different wireless network technologies with a focus on availability, number of nodes, total cost, end-user cost, vendor cost, range, reliability and security. The goal is to compare Local Area Network Wi-Fi technology (IEEE 802.11 a/g) with mobile wireless technology like 3G, 4G, and LTE.

19

3.1.3 Sumant Ku Mohapatra1, BiswaRanjan Swain1 and Pravanjan Das (2015) did a study titled “Comprehensive Survey of possible security issues on 4G networks" gives a brief study of recent advances in wireless network security issues. First, it studies the 4G mail threats and risk and their design decisions. Second, the security of 4G architecture with nextgeneration network security and 8- security dimensions of the 4G network. Third, security issues and possible threats to 4G are discussed. Finally, proposed four-layer security model which manages to ensure more secure packets transmission by taking all the necessary security measures. 3.1.4 Vishalakshi Prabhu, G.S. Nagaraja (2014) did a study titled"A Survey on Quality of Service Provision in 4G Wireless Networks" gives a brief study of Quality of Service (QoS), Internet Protocol (IP), heterogeneous network, Cross-Layer Design (CLD). Worldwide many mobile operators, industry experts, and researchers have diverse visions of potential 4th generation (4G) features and its implementations. 4G networks will be incorporating advanced Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) protocol and the signaling will be done through Internet Protocol (IP). There are several key challenges in implementing the 4G heterogeneous network. Few of these problems are all IP network, integration across different topologies, security and Quality of Service (QoS). This paper gives a survey and classification of the important QoS approaches proposed for 4G networks. Classification is based on the work done in each protocol layer and Cross-Layer Design (CLD) approach. Finally, this paper presents outcomes of the survey which includes significant observations, limitations, and an idea of further research in improving QoS in 4G networks.

3.1.5 Protiviti, 2009 "The lackluster performance of the Broadband (BB) market, primarily attributable to the technical and economic non-feasibility of the fixed line infrastructure in India, indicates that the solution for mass proliferation of broadband in India has to be wireless. Recognizing the strong correlation between broadband proliferation and increased economic activity and experience of the burgeoning wireless voice market, the Government had announced its Broadband Policy (2004) and most recently the Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) auctions in 2008 to accelerate BB adoption in India. The industry and the country now wait with bated breath to see which wireless technology will be adapted to provide a cost-effective and scalable BB solution to the Indian market, which is ripe with pent-up demand for broadband services. Adoption of any new wireless technology would hinge on affordability, spectral efficiency (on account of the scarcity of available spectrum and its high cost), scalability, robustness, the range of devices available, evolution roadmap over the next 3~4 years and meeting the BWA policy requirements. 20

While one school of thought backs WiMAX – "WiMAX emerges as the quintessential answer to these problems, given its superior performance and lower costs as compared to the existing 3G technologies and futuristic Long Term Evolution (LTE) equivalents. WiMAX was developed for high-speed wireless BB data access and is a 4G technology available today at 3G prices. It presents an ideal choice to Telcos for providing high- speed wireless BB at affordable rates and for the government to meet its growth and social objectives."

3.1.6 Kamal, K., 2008 did a research on the Concerns about Cyber Security in general and security of telecom infrastructure, in particular, are escalating. Current efforts in these areas need to be stepped up by several orders of magnitude with appropriate arrangements for coordination across multiple agencies involved if they are to be effective in meeting new and emerging challenges the issues surrounding the management of wireless broadband access (including WiMAX and LTE) networks would have to be examined. The security, resilience, and safety of these networks are of paramount importance.

3.2 Review of Literature Jio is the telecommunication company owned by Reliance Ltd. It emerges one among the fastest growing telecom operator in Asian nation as information printed in a review of literature Jai Bhatia Economic & Political Weekly October 8, 2016 vol II no 41. Jio came up with a vision to get large revenue by providing quality service at a less expensive rate using the most recent technology. Initially, its growth is high. Within the Indian market, it is the primary mover advantage for Jio with a biggest 4G network coverage infrastructure all across twenty two medium circles in India. None of its competitors has such biggest infrastructure for 4G.

As we tend to see within the year 2012-13, India is a hundred and fiftieth within the world in mobile broadband penetration additionally as quality. Reliance, Predatory rating or predatory behavior (October 8, 2016) says that Jio may be understood by Predatory rating Strategy to Some extent within the starting, Jio is also followed an equivalent strategy that created their competitors rely on their rating method all of them have tried to cut back and match with the rating level of Jio value.

21

According to the info printed by www.paulasset.com, reliance Jio is nice for Indian market as a result of it is giving very best quality on cheaper price. The information additionally explains that presently Jio’s data traffic is higher (TRAI Data) compared to its competitors. Jio is additionally threatening “As it's expected that it'll kill a lot of than thirty businesses at intervals next five to ten years”, as per poulasset. Jio can acquire and can hold a major range of market shares within the following areas.

Mobile (Local/STD + SMS), MOBILE information (3G/4G), CABLE TV/ D2H, MAGAZINE/NEWSPAPERS, CLOUD STORAGE, movie DOWNLOAD/ looking at, NEWS READING APPS, MOBILE WALLETS / fast PAY & OTHERS Jio has already started giving substitution for the on top of at one place, i.e. Jio TV, Jio Music, Jio Wallet, Jio Drive Etc.

According to info printed by gadget.ndtv.com it's terribly tough to compete with Jio as they have invested with 150,000 Crores rupee throughout 2010 to 2016 for developing the infrastructure while not having any profit. It is harsh to create such massive sector in Asian nation in one go as a result of it needs a large amount and long period of time. Reliance is usually able to handle any such startup which may threaten Jio. Existing competitors like Airtel, Vodafone is already full of a large debt therefore it’s not easy for them to invest huge amount in a very short amount of time.

Nearly twenty five million cell phones are using Jio Sim even before its industrial launch! Reliance Jio is creating headlines with its simple on pocket data packs and lifelong free calling. Never in the history of medium has anybody witnessed a player seize the market in a very week’s time by distributing Sim cards with the unlimited free net.

According to an article printed within the myvoice.opindia.com Analysts doubt the strategy of Reliance by comparing that with its schemes. Jio can attract low-quality customers who can jump to alternative networks once the freebies end. However Reliance doesn’t believe so. It is providing free 4G data which means it’ll occupy the primary Sim slot in the Smartphone 4G phones. Also, customers can switch to Jio from their broadband or the Wi-Fi services and Probably can follow it even once the promotion amount ends. In addition to it, it's giving free vocation; therefore its aware folks are mistreatment the amount for vocation purposes for succeeding 3 months. 3 months could be an ample time span for folks to expertise the superfast speed and also the quality services and for good transfer to the network.

22

Currently assume that Jio reaches seventy fifth of its planned subscriber base of a hundred million therefore by the tip of the year, Reliance lands up with seventy-five million subscriber base. India’s total 4G user range is believed to the touch the mark of 143 million by this year end. Therefore at intervals three months of its official launch, Jio would have nonheritable quite five hundredth of the market share. Although several subscribers leave the service of Jio, still Reliance would be left with significant market share.

The analytical information shows that it's captured most no. of the market shares at intervals the shortest period of your time. It may be finished those are having the Jio service at the moment, among them seventy to eighty you look after the users are proud of its service. This range is higher within the rural areas and lesser within the urban areas. By the tip of 2017, it's expected that there'll be thirty to forty large integer subscribers or quite that. The free app that is given nowadays are not be free, later on, the consumer are payment around six to ten thousand in a very year

According to Times of India (Feb 22, 2016,) as we tend to saw within the year 2012-13, India is a hundred and fiftieth within the world in mobile broadband penetration additionally as quality. And Jio has extremely been conceived to alter this position," the Indian billionaire said.

23

3.3 CONCLUSION Using numerous information from the market and subscription base figures as a technique to know market dominance, R. Jio cannot be specified as a dominant operator however it will be specified because the at the start fastest growing telecom operator. The info shows that it has captured most no. of the market shares among the shortest amount of time. The people who are having the Jio service at this time, among them seventy to eighty you look after the users are happy with its service. This range is higher within the rural areas and lesser within the urban areas.

Based on the BCG Matrix, we can say that Jio may be a question mark for the reliance Ltd. the info shows that they are pumping the massive quantity of money and at present, it's not giving a bit of profit to them at present. It is expected within the future that The Jio can end up generating an enormous quantity of revenue from the customers depends on upon the policy and steps will be taken by the Jio officers.

This is the sole company which is holding 4G infrastructure altogether 22 medium circle, By the end of 2017, it is expected that there'll be thirty to forty crore subscribers or over that. The free app that is given today will be no longer be free, later the consumer will be spending around half-dozen to 10 thousand in a very year. It’ll generate vast revenue.

CHAPTER 4

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 4.1

Introduction

Assumptions are the foundation of all research about what constitutes valid research and which research methods are appropriate for the development of knowledge in a given research. For effective conduction and evaluation of any research, it is therefore important to know what these assumptions are.

Before beginning of any research, the researcher has to prepare a research design that help as guidelines of the research and which assists throughout the process. A clear conceptual understanding is must to understand the importance, role and purpose of research design. The researcher needs to understand what research design is and what it is not. The Researcher also needs to know where design fits into the whole research process from framing a question to finally analyzing and reporting data. This is the purpose of this chapter. This chapter discusses the research design underpinning the present research study on Jio customer satisfaction and its services which were reviewed and presented; and new aspects of the subject market research of Jio services were tried to add on to the basic premise. In addition, the chapter also discusses the design and research methodologies used in the study including strategies, instruments, data collection and analysis methods, while explaining the processes involved in the study. The findings further strengthened the position that objective is to develop a long haul relationship between the business and the worker while encouraging a sentiment having a place and a confirmation of settling on the right decision the purpose of this study is to analyze the present market of Jio in wifi and satisfaction of its customers.

4.2

Research Design

A research design is the framework and the plan of a research study that has been created to seek answers to research questions. The design of a research defines the study type (descriptive, correlation, semi-experimental, experimental, review, meta-analytic) and sub-type and data collection methods and a statistical analysis plan. It holds the research project together. It 25

provides the structure of the research, to show how all the major sections/chapters of the research- research sample, measures, treatment and research methodology- work together to address the research questions. A research can be divided into three categories: exploratory, descriptive and causal. Each category addresses different end purpose and can only be used in certain ways.

4.2.1 Descriptive Research Descriptive research, unlike exploratory research, is preplanned and structured in design so that information collected can be statistically inferred on a population. The central idea behind using this type of research is to better define an opinion, attitude, or behavior held by a group of respondents on a given subject.

4.2.2 Exploratory Research Exploratory research focuses on the finding of ideas and insights as to collect statistically accurate data. It is most commonly used for further defining issues, areas for potential growth, alternative courses of action, and prioritizing areas that require statistical research. Exploratory research results into two forms either it’s a new topic or new dimensions of the theory. A new topic is often unexpected in its findings. For example, In Australia, Cronin and Taylor (1992) developed a "performance-based" service quality measurement scale called SERVPERF and Dabholkar, Thorpe & Rentz; (1996) developed RSQS or Retail Service Quality Scale in American market setup. New angles can come from new ways of looking at things from a theoretical perspective or by new way of measuring something.

4.2.3 Causal Research Like descriptive research, causal research is quantitative in nature also as preplanned and structured in style. For this reason, it is additionally considered casual research. Causal research differs in its attempt to make a case for the cause and effect relationship between variables. This can be opposed to the observational style of descriptive research, because it makes an attempt to decipher whether a relationship is causal through experimentation. In the end, causal research has 2 objectives: 

To know which variables are the cause and which variables are the effect, and 26



To conclude the nature of the connection between the causal variables and the effect to be predicted.

4.3 Exploratory research It is the initial research into a hypothetic or theoretical plan. The researcher has a concept or has observed something and seeks to know more about it. An exploratory research is an attempt to get the groundwork which will result in future studies, or to see if what is being discovered could be explained by an existing theory. This research is also an attempt to connect ideas to understand cause and effect. It is an attempt to examine the cause and effect and the factors affecting reliability, personal interaction, problem solving and policy as cause of the phenomenon to set the initial groundwork for future research. The efforts have been put to explain what is going on in the market amongst the customers of Reliance Jio.

The Chapter closed with the presentation of research framework, its development and the methodology used for the study. The benefit of this research project is that it will provide the reader with data and statistics of a general viewpoint of Jio’s market demand and its image amongst its customers. It will also provide them with certain suggestions.

4.4.1 Sample Size Sample size refers to the numbers of respondent’s that researcher have selected for the survey. I have selected 300 sample units from the market and individual customers.

4.4.2 Method of Sampling Convenient sampling is used as sampling method as all the customers in the sites are surveyed.

4.4.3 Sampling Area While conducting sample, I went many places of Delhi NCR

4.4.4 Data collection Tool I have used set of Questions, as the research instrument to conduct the market survey. They were close ended questions designed in such a way that it should gather maximum information 27

possible. Primary Source: Primary data was collected directly from the customers through a set of questions. Secondary Source: The secondary source was the company website, journals, books and from my colleagues.

4.5 Conclusion Research design defines the type of study, hypotheses, type of research question, variables, and data collection methods. The purpose of above chapter is to provide an outline of research design in both descriptive and explanatory research. In explanatory research the purpose is to develop and evaluate the process of research. Research style isn't associated with any specific methodology or type of assembling data or any specific type of data. Moreover it is used in any type of data collection method and can be used either quantitative or qualitative data. It refers to the structure of an enquiry it is a logical matter rather than a logistical one. The pivotal role of research design is to minimize the chance of drawing incorrect causal inferences from data. Designing a research is a logical task endeavored to ensure that the evidence collected enables researcher to answer questions or to test theories as unambiguously as possible. The type of evidence required answering questions and research question itself should be presented in a convincing way. The research not only collects evidence simply but must be consistent with a particular theory or explanation. The researcher must look for evidence that supports theory and it has the potential to disprove preferred explanations.
