Accelerating Data Consumption Across the Wireless Grid
Subscriber growth was mirrored by dramatic intensifications in overall traffic volumes.

Home and enterprise connectivity also experienced robust inroads, driven largely by the fixed wireless offering Jio AirFiber. Customer accounts on AirFiber climbed to 15.1 million. Over the previous twelve-month period, the service represented upwards of 75 percent of all net additions recorded across the fixed broadband division. In terms of overall network connectivity, the total customer roster expanded by a net 36 million over the year, with the September quarter alone supplying 9.1 million net additions.
