Airtel and jio War continued

To Beat Jio, Airtel Offers 1.5GB Per Day With Rs. 349 Pack and Launches New Plan With 70GB Data

HIGHLIGHTS

Airtel’s Rs. 448 plan comes with 1GB data per day for 70 days
It is available via the myAirtel app
The operator has revised the Rs. 349 plan to give 1.5GB 4G data per day

With Jio still biting at its heels over a year after entering the telecom market, Airtel has updated its Rs. 349 plan to offer more data at the same price. This comes soon after it offered customers 100 percent cashback on recharging with the Rs. 349 plan for a limited period. Along with giving users more data to remain competitive with Jio, Airtel has launched a new plan that offers a total of 70GB bundled data and free outgoing roaming calls. The new plan is available only for prepaid users of Airtel at the moment, and has validity of 70 days.

Available to select Airtel users via the myAirtel app, the new Rs. 448 plan comes with 1GB of 3G/ 4GB data per day, unlimited local and STD calls, free outgoing calls on roaming, and 3,000 bundled SMSes. Its direct competitor is the Rs. 399 Jio plan, which offers the same benefits, along with access to Jio apps. The Rs. 459 Jio pack, on the other hand, has the same benefits but validity of 84 days.

Vodafone recently launched a plan with 84-day validity and same benefits at Rs. 496, while Idea has a new plan with the same details at Rs. 498. The two companies are undergoing a merger that will unseat Airtel as the biggest telecom operator in the country.

As mentioned above, the Rs. 349 plan will now offer 1.5GB data per day, along with unlimited local and STD calls and 3,000 SMSes. The validity of the plan, however, remains the same at 28 days. On the Airtel network, the so-called unlimited calls are capped at 250 minutes per day and 1,000 minutes per week. Calls made beyond this limit will be charged at 10p per minute for Airtel-to-Airtel calls, and 30p per minute for calls to other networks.

The biggest deal in health care industry

What the CVS-Aetna deal means for the future of health care When drug company chief executive Heather Bresch was hauled in front of Congress last year to defend the high price of lifesaving EpiPens, she drew skeptical lawmakers' attention to a large poster board that blamed the skyrocketing price tag on a coterie of drug supply chain middlemen. Of EpiPen's $608 list price, her company, Mylan, received only $274, Bresch said. "What the patient is paying is not . . . coming back to Mylan," Bresch said. "And when we were speaking earlier of the people, the middlemen in the system, that's either the pharmacy benefit managers, retailers, wholesalers, insurers." That supply chain — rarely seen by most consumers — is the center of attention in the corporate world after CVS Health announced a $69 billion deal to buy Aetna, the nation's third-largest insurer. Familiar as a corner drugstore, CVS Health actually makes most of its money from one of t

H-1B extension is now more difficult trump tightened walls again

Trump admin makes it more difficult for H-1B visa extension USCIS said the previous memorandum of April 23, 2004 appeared to place this burden on this federal agency. In a new directive, the Trump administration has made it more difficult for the renewal of non-immigrant visas such as H-1B and L1, popular among Indian IT professionals, saying that the burden of proof lies on the applicant even when an extension is sought. Rescinding its more than 13-year-old policy, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services ( USCIS ) said that the burden of proof in establishing eligibility is, at all times, on the petitioner. USCIS said the previous memorandum of April 23, 2004 appeared to place this burden on this federal agency. "This memorandum makes it clear that the burden of proof remains on the petitioner, even where an extension of non- immigrant status is sought," USCIS said in its latest memorandum issued on October 23.
