^ everybody wants good data rates, except these telecos
given the f*cking insane prices combined with FUP, I don't see 4g becoming mainstream in India before 2020. Even 3g isn't mainstream yet. mid range smartphones lack 4g which would be the biggest problem IMO. You won't see the everybody buying a 30k phone just to get 4g when they are already satisfied with 512kbps internet
4g phones will be available from next month starting from rs 8,000 .. 4g plans are being offered at same 3g rates .. so why not ?
3g speeds are already going down on some networks due to heavy traffic and no of users increasing in peak hours .. 4g would be great and if reliance jio can come up with decent plans ...
Basically the future of 4g depends upon Reliance jio, they can either make or break indian 4g ..
2020 no way .. by 2015-2016 metros and other big cities would have adopted 4g quite good.. device price would reach 5000 rs by then.. i won't be surprised if the 2nd wave of android one phones starts making 4g as one of the mandatory specs ..
