Internet speed in India will increase by 10 times from March 2023. The central government has approved the auction of the 5G spectrum for the next 20 years. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has said that the 5G service will start in the country from March 2023. Meanwhile, the biggest question is, how much money will people have to pay for 5G service? In today’s Bhaskar explainer, understand…
In the first phase, 5G internet will be started in 13 cities of the country.
Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, and Vodafone-Idea are three telecom providers working to launch 5G. These companies have tried and tested. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India i.e. TRAI has to take the final decision from which date 5G internet will be started.
This project was stalled due to the non-auction of the spectrum, but now after getting the approval of the auction, preparations have started to start 5G internet. According to the report, in the first phase, 13 cities of the country, namely Chandigarh, Delhi, Lucknow, Gurugram, Ahmedabad, Jamnagar, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Gandhinagar, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, will start 5G internet.
Understand the price of a 5G data pack from the trends of 61 countries
India Three telecom companies are bringing 5G in India – Jio, Airtel, and Vi. So far, none of the companies has made any disclosure about the prices of their 5G data plans. Hence, it is difficult to tell how much the 5G tariffs will be. A trend can definitely be understood in those countries of the world where 5G service has been launched.
South Korea was the first country in the world to launch the 5G service in December 2018. Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States followed suit in May 2019. So far 5G has been started in more than 61 countries. Here we are comparing 4G and 5G tariff plans of selected telecom companies of the world. These are the costs for a one-month unlimited plan.
5G plans will be 10-40% more expensive than 4G
It is clear that unlimited 5G plans of the world’s big telcos are costlier than 4G. Companies have increased by 10% to 40% on their own. This trend can be seen when 5G service will be launched in India. That is, even in India, 5G plans can be 10-40% more expensive than 4G.
In 5G, 1 GB of data will be less expensive than in 4G.
Remember the era of 2G when an entire month used to pass in 1 GB data. After the arrival of 3G, the consumption of data increased and after the arrival of 4G, 1 to 2 GB of data started being spent daily. Obviously, after the arrival of 5G, the consumption of data will increase manifold. According to the India Mobile Broadband Index 2021, data consumption in India has grown by 36 per cent in 2020 and is likely to continue. In such a situation, experts are expecting that the unlimited plan of 5G can be expensive, but the average price of 1 GB of 5G data can be less than 4G.
According to experts, the 5G spectrum will be recovered by increasing the cost of 4G services. Telecom companies of India have recently increased their tariff rates by 20-25%. Experts believe that soon it can be increased further. The reason for this is the need for money to buy an expensive spectrum of 5G and the increased debt of companies.
According to Isha Choudhary, Director of CRISIL Research, the cost of 1 GB of data in countries like the US, China, and South Korea is between $ 8-10, while in India it is less than $1. In such a situation, there is scope for companies to make tariffs costlier. However, this may happen by the end of this year. All companies are focusing on increasing their ARPU.
Let us now also understand the difference between 5G and 4G service.
The fifth generation of Internet networks is called 5G. It is a wireless broadband Internet service that delivers high-speed Internet access via waves. It is made up of three different frequency bands from around Russia.
1. Low-Frequency Band: Best Area Coverage, 100 Mbps Internet Speed, Internet Speed Low
2. Mid-frequency band: Internet speed 1.5 Gbps more than a low band, less area coverage than the low-frequency band, good in terms of signal
3. High-Frequency Band: Highest internet speed 20Gbps, Minimum area covered, also good in terms of signal.

5G also stopped the speed of planes in America,
Even though the 5G service has not started in India yet, many controversies are coming out about it. United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said last month that the introduction of 5G services in the US would ban the use of radio altimeters in at least 40 major airports.
According to Reuters, an average of 1,000 flights per day will be canceled, diverted, or delayed and thousands of passengers will be affected. In this, both cargo and passenger aircraft are being said to be affected. However, in this case, 5G service companies Verizon and AT&T say that 5G services have started in at least 40 other countries. There have been no complaints of any disruption to airlines in any of these countries.
