After getting delayed for god knows how many times, India's 3G auction now finally has a date. The Government post-poned the auction 3 times and now it will be held on April 9 2010, the last date of applications is March 19. Department of Telecom has also said that 2 days after the 3G auction is over, the auction for Broadband Wireless Access and WiMax will take place. So finally we have a date and within a months time 3G and WiMax would be available in India. As of now 3G services are offerred by BSNL and MTNL but the real game will start when big wigs like AirTel and Vodafone start offering 3G services. AirTel, as you all must have known has already tested some 3rd party apps for its upcoming 3G network. Funny part is after getting delayed thrice, the 3G auction is taking place now and TRAI (Telephone Regulatory Authority of India) has already initiated its plans for 4G..I am speechless!!
