India mobile firms will provide 3G in the market
India's mobile firms will be bidding billions of dollars in an auction this week to provide superfast third generation (3G) service in the country's booming cellular market Sony VGP-BPS9/B ,Sony vgp bps8a .
The government is hoping to reap around eight billion dollars from the sale of 3G airwaves, which begins Friday, and a follow-up auction of broadband wireless access spectrum in what will be the largest such sale in recent years.The starting price has been set at 780 million dollars for pan-India 3G licences but analysts expect the bidding Dell latitude d820 battery to go much higher because of the scramble for spectrum in the congested market, which has over a dozen players.
Top mobile operators such as Bharti Airtel and Reliance Communications will be in the fray along with foreign-backed Vodafone Essar Lenovo thinkpad t60 battery and Tata DoCoMo.The addition of 3G is seen giving a major boost to a mobile market already growing by 15 to 20 million subscribers a month.
But for at least the first year, the main focus of phone companies is expected to be on improving call quality that has been affected by a spectrum crunch."There has been tremendous growth in the subscriber base over the past few years of Dell xps m1730 battery ," said Nareshchandra Singh, analyst at international consultancy Gartner.
India, a country of 1.2 billion people, is playing catch-up as it is the biggest major economy not to have widespread 3G services apple ibook g4 12 inch battery .The country is following in the footsteps of fellow emerging market giant China, which started offering 3G services last year.
Even if India's government gets eight billion dollars for the airwaves, the sum will come nowhere near the 19 billion raised by the US government two years ago and the 35 billion earned by Britain in 2000.Analysts say India's rural areas offer huge market potential Dell vostro 1700 battery but rolling out infrastructure to support 3G networks will be costly and the main immediate 3G battleground for customers will be in urban areas.
