Govt releases guidelines for 3G service, MNP

Quote:

The government today set the ball rolling for introduction of next generation (3G) mobile services, as also mobile number portability that would allow users to switch operators while retaining existing numbers.

The new guidelines for 3G spectrum, released today, provides for a reserve price for availing of radio frequency.

The price for a 2x5 Mhz block of spectrum for Mumbai and Delhi and category-A shall be Rs 160 crore and for Kolkata and category-B Rs 80 crore and for category-C Rs 30 crore.

Government has also decided to allow up to 10 players in the 3G space, including eligible foreign players.

The guidelines for Mobile Number Portability, also released by the government today, proposes dividing the country into two zones for implementing the scheme that is prevalent in most mature telecom markets.

Correct me if I am wrong - 3G and number portability are not related. Right?

Admin · 08-01-08, 06:17 PM

Yes you are right these are two seperate matters. Once number portability starts I am sure call charges will come down again and there will be a grand price war between mobile phone service providers and due to this 3g serices will be very reasonably priced as well.

No idea about the pricing but Mtnl Delhi will be the first one to launch 3g services as they already have their equipment all set to roll.

It shouldnt take more then 3-4 months is what Ive heard.
