Anil Ambani led Reliance Communications, also known as RCom, has been debt-ridden for quite some time now. The company even shut down its wireless business last month across the country because of not being able to “sustain the business” any longer. And now, in a bid to pay off some debt, RCom is selling off its wireless infrastructure assets to Mukesh Ambani led Reliance Jio.
