India’s largest telecommunications network, Airtel, has increased data benefits up to 67 percent in pre-paid internet package in India.The decision came just days after its rival, Reliance, announced the commencement of the Jio 4G service in August. Reliance, the Mukesh Ambani-owned telecommunication company, has already started a 3-month trial offer to Samsung and Apple phones in India.
