3G service to be launched in September
From September, mobile phone users can hope to get the 3G service from the operators who recently won bids in the spectrum auction, while the high-speed Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) service roll-out could be much faster.
“As the Ministry of Defence has given us an assurance on vacating spectrum at the earliest, we will allot spectrum to the successful bidders on September 1 to offer hi-end mobile services, while we are ready to release spectrum for the BWA service,” Telecom Secretary P.J. Thomas told journalists here. Source
