hi
does some one know on what standard 3g will be available in india? either gsm or cdma
i noticed that bsnl had introduced nic cards in my town and started rolling out evdo cards lately
are they going to drop gsm network?

Keep waiting... while the 3G spectrum auction delays and delays.. btw.. bsnl 3G is shame in the name of 3G ..

i agree
in my home town they have only oneevdo tower which works at rev 0 speed and some cdma 1x coverage here and there and one more evdo tower coming next month
last week when i went to bsnl office those guys cant even guide me properly to buy a data card (between cdma and gsm)
these guys cant even upgrade their 2g network properly i wonder how they are going to pay for upgrading to 3g
i think it going to be mess with bsnl between cdma and gsm without any proper coverage and low speed
and i dont think any other isp is going to introduce any good 3g plan any time soon.
