3g to india

i was just thinking there is a lot of shouting in the market that 3g is coming but i still dont understand is it going to give the results as expected.

or may be it will blow as a bomb with lot of noise and then subside.

may be time will only tell the truth about it , becouse so many private players are bidding on it.

abroad countries a keeping an eye on this and a lot is happening.

TRAI is doing a tuff job by keeping a stability on this issues  and giving the results.

but only in the end its the consumer who has the last and most important decision , so just wait and watch

rolling out of 3g mobile phones in india

it is being confirmed that  3g mobile phones are to be launched in a common basis in india , by september of 2008

mainly the major players are reliance and bharti who are bidding on this new venture ,

so next time i suppose even a vegetable seller will also  browse internet to know about the prices of vegetables, this will be the situation.

The main reason for this is the low cost handsets which are going to be launched by the big major players.

so wait and watch.

rethinking on spectrum allocation by indian government

on recommendation of TRAI the government is rethinking the process  to expedite the TRAI’s recommendation for mechanism and pricing of spectrum .

this is done to allow spectrum for 3g and wimax ,as the growth of broadband is slow in india so government should act on the criteria of spectrum allocation and think about the growth of indian telecom sector. 

only time will tell what decision the government is going to take.
