Let it, the price of handsets should come down.

ideally i think that in order for 3g to work, the price of the handsets has to be between 8000-15000. But airtel, it seems has never been afraid of going into ventures which only a few can get into. Look at Blackberry, the hansets a very expensive and yet airtel is taking a risk on it.

Blackberry is a much 'safer' risk imo

@shyam: i think 3g isn't exactly a risk, because, its got to come sooner or later, and if airtel is already preparing for it, it is probably foresight. It would mean that when it does finally roll out, they will have already an infrastructure ready for it.

Does 3g need completely new infrastructure?

The airtel should in my opinion should look at connection plus handset on contract basis. They can certainly do that.

Devesh, what i mean by risk is that airtel are putting their money too early, at a time when the market is unprepared for such an upgrade. What i mean is that people wont go in for it since the price would be too high. I dont doubt that such a move is inevitable.

But there's nothing wrong in being prepared. Is there? And airtel sure does know what they are doing.
