Yes. MTNL is planning commercial launch on Republic Day. Possibly through the PM. but they are very tight lipped about the plans. even an insider refused to divulge anything. just gave a cryptic smile and said "wait and watch"

Hope the prices will be reasonable.I stopped using MTNL after my bills rocketed after using internet.

I called up Mtnl customer care and the girl I spoke to said that she doesnt have any information about the launch of 3g on the 26th Jan and said she was told it will be first week of feb

I have been waiting for 3g for soooo long now... Looks like its still not here yet.

the PM's at the Hospital admin-ji. have to wait till he gets back.

After all such hype and high aqquisation cost. Due to the presense of rival technology like Wifi, i doub't 3g would be a success

[rant]
WTF!
This is wierd man, a 3G service delayed in this country because some leader is ill. this is not some road or dam building project, so a PM needs to come.

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam (MTNL) will launch third-generation (3G) mobile services commercially from Today.

Motorola is setting up the core network for MTNL for this launch.

Initially, services will be launched in central Delhi, including Connaught Place, India Gate, Pragati Maidan, Delhi Gate and Minto Road. The services will later be extended to Gurgaon. BSNL is also expected to launch commercial 3G services soon.

Today i got an ad on Hindustan times telling me that they are reducing the cost of international calls to Rs 3...they are to make one more announcemnt tomorrow ...Most proably they are waiting for the PM.

Now we all know normal people rarely use MTNL cellphone in delhi because of the crappy service..... So as soon as 3G enters the market people will immediatly jump on to it. Mostly students living in delhi to get cheap and fast internet access.


Students mostly have 3g enabled cellphones ...they will connect it to their pc's and internet and downloading.

And also video calling will be free for the first few months ,...so all the college sweethearts....will be on ....... phone &*^

Airtel and other pvt players better have some thing up their sleeve and fast.

The Pvt. players are waiting for a cash cow since long. They are going to make a killing on 3G.

Well i don't think so....
Untill and unless it becomes as cheap as gprs and the video calling comes down to as low as re 1 per min no one is gonna use it...

See std calls on a mobile are some times as low as 10p per min on te same network.
So getting video calling will have to wait.

Any one got thosenew sim cards and tried it out yet ?
