3G services inaugurated in India

[naveen_reloaded]

This was a huge surprise. Chief Minister M. Karunanithi was hospitalized and was recovering so I didn't expect 3G services to be launched this month. Today's edition of The Hindu [22nd Feb 2009] carried a full page ad, on it's last page, about the inauguration of the 3G services in Chennai. The State telecom provider BSNL that gets first dibs at the 3G spectrum in India, as expected. Images below:

Even I saw the ad in morning newspaper of dinamalar. No reasonable advancement in the case of wired broadband since 2003 , not sure how effective will be this technology in consumer market.

Got it atleast now, Is it launching all over India or just TN ?
Why by Karunanadhi? Damn !!!

 

[gopi_vbboy]

[Coool]

hope airtel isnt starting it ..

coz they will have " fair usuage " and would say that if we cross 50 MB our speed will be reduced to 33.3 Kbps......

OMG... Wat about the speed ??

 

[Coool]

^ i think 2MBPS..

 

[gxsaurav]

Rs 400 for 1 GB, I will take it as then I will use 3G in my mobile phone only for which 1 GB is sufficient.

Rs 3000 for unlimited 2 MBps is very costly.

Still too expensive but this is at least a start.

 

[Tech.Masti]

Too, toooo costly plans

 

[Pat]

1 GB for 400 bucks is super cheap..Is it true ?

 

[naveen_reloaded]

3K ??? its too costly..

i think a 256 kbps should be availalbe less than 700 Rs... then i would get it ...
anyway pan 3G will take another 2 yrs
