telecomtiger.com takes an interesting look at the state of network infrastructure in India, in a recent article. Did you know that 3G isn’t deployed there yet? Whilst other markets are deploying 4G, it’s still waiting for 3G – who’d of thought….
Apparently the whole process is going through another review – with spectrum and cost being the headline points that are causing issues. There have been numerous proposed auction dates, however these have all been postponed – which has caused many to wonder if 3G will even get deployed whilst the current Government is in office…
Quite a sad state of affairs methinks – 3G does have major improvements in both capacity (important for a large and growing nation), and also data bandwidth – which might help remote areas in getting connected. We can only hope things sort themselves out within this calendar year…
It’s a really good article on telecomtiger.com, I recommend reading it in full here.

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
