Indians were still waiting for 3G mobile services when other countries are forgetting 3G and looking towards 4G mobile technologies. Its time for the Indians to be happy now as, India’s Union Minister of Technology and Communication has made it clear that 3G telecom services in India will be up and running at the end of this year. Let me remind you that few months back the government had said that they will be opening up the 3G spectrum but this news now gives a confirm date. Earlier TRAI had said that only domestic players can bid for the spectrum but now the Union Minister has made it clear that even foreign players can bid for the 3G spectrum. May be AirTel was aware that all this is going to happen so they tested their 3G application across metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore. Also, Videocon is launching their telecom business soon and has tied up with many players to offer 3G services and don’t forget AirTel is getting the iPhone at the end of 2008, which I think is the 3G version of current iPhone. All these things fit like a jigsaw puzzle, don’t you think so???
