Videocon conducted a study on these non-data users to understand their reasons for not using data and found out that over 86% of these non users having data enabled handsets aspire to use data but are reluctant to do so.
The study suggested the inadequate knowledge and that initial hesitation to ask someone on knowhow and perception of data cost being high as two main reason for people not using data.

"This initiative shall address both first time mobile users primarily from rural belts and existing mobile users who have been using mobile primarily for voice. The target segment is huge, and I am sure this will go a long way in digitally connecting every subscriber," Bali said.
