Cortana, Edge and Bing are integrated to provide a better search experience, Gavin explained.

The COAI representative Rajan Mathews, who has been voicing concerns on behalf of telcos like Airtel and Vodafone over the Reliance demand for flawless interconnection for calls made using Jio SIM card, was kept out of the meet.
