Benefits Of 3G

• Segmented Product Offerings for High End
  Consumers, matching their paying capacity, with
  focus on Delightful user Experiece.
• Freeing up of Existing Spectrum for basic Voice
  Services, in currently high Density areas such as
  Metros. This will remove Spectral Constraints
  towards achieving 250 Million subscribers by
  2007, the bigger dream.
• Creating Mobility Driven Enterprise Solutions,
  which will help the Mobile Work Force far greater
  Speeds of Access, manifold the conventional
  56 Kbps dial up speeds, improving their
  Efficiency Productivity.
• Bridging the Digital Divide between Urban
  Rural India, by providing fast deployment of Last
  Mile Wireless Connectivity, for easy Broad Band
  Access. This can help the Social Objectives by
  providing Broad Band Access to Villages for
  Community Programs Rural Management.
• Usher in the Era of e-Governance at District
  Levels.

Spectrum Allocation the key to Success

• Spectrum is a Key but currently Scarce Resource,
  to achieve growth.
• India must adopt Global Best Practices in
  Spectrum Allocation methodology
• Policy should address the Geographical
  Demographic Diversity of India the resulting
  Divergent Needs for Telecom Services.
• Overriding Goal in framing Policies should be to
  foster Competition stimulate Innovation.
• Move away from piecemeal allocation to full
  allocation of agreed Spectrum, in one go, to
  Service Providers. This will enable better
  Network Planning Deployment.
• Follow a Technology Neutral Allocation
  Methodology. Efficiency Innovation should not
  be penalized.
• Additional Spectrum for 3G deployment in Globally
  Harmonized Frequency Bands, so that we can get
  rapid deployment of 3G Services, with no
  equipment availability constraints derive
  economies of Scale.
