> Airtel to bring 3G to India!
Bookmark topic
....well...sort of, i guess. Last night, i noticed that my 9500 was not making an EDGE connection to Mobile Office (others on banglore should have noticed this too), insted the regular (Plain Vanilla GPRS) connection. So when it took almost 20+ secs to open 'http://www.google.com/palm', which is usually even faster then the normal google, I decided to call customer care. On calling them up, the nice lady said that the EDGE services have been put offline for 24 hours as 3G-related testing is going on!!!!
Any thoughts? Comments? Excited whispers?

3G? But has the TRAI already issued licences for 3G operations? As far as i know, it hasn't.

TRAI have not issued any licence for 3G in India yet, but testing with proper infrastructure can be done as per the law, so I guess this is a great news.

So Airtel folks are confident that the GSM players will get the licences!?

Even so....its sort of, has been a surreal reality-dream since i've been quite young. Something which was a creation of someone 's imagination gone loose: talking to someone while you can see his face on the screen, reminds me of the sci-fi movies back in the 80's. Only this is'nt a big screen on the wall, like those movies, its these tiny things in our pocket that we call cellular phones, and finally I feel, the future has come.... the future in now.

I think it will be just limited to cities. (For the time being atleast.)
