The Governmental Initiative

• "I plan to leapfrog from the current generation
  of mobile telephony to the next 4G. Currently,
  India uses the technology of GSM (2.5 G) and CDMA
  for mobile telephony. The 3G standard has been
  evolved, but has not proved cost-effective. I
  therefore plan to leapfrog this generation and
  develop 4G technology,"
• Quoting Mr. Dayanidhi Maran
• Ex - Honbl Minister for Telecommunication
• Govt. of India
• November 2005.

The Governmental Initiative

• The Minister of Communications and Information
  Technology A Raja pointed out that vacation of
  some spectrum by Defence for both 2G and 3G
  services would pave the way for a roll out of 3G
  services by mid 2008.
• Raja also reiterated that 3G offers an exciting
  opportunity for operators to provide innovative
  services, especially to the subcontinents
  increasingly young, affluent and IT-literate
  urban population.
