Gartner also takes "pause " while saying about future of 3G in INDIA

Its once again new chapter of INCREDIBLE INDIA , worlds famous research firm Gartner also taking second look at their research reports "WILL IT BE BOOM OR SHEER FAILURE"
because

  • India is too late for 3G ( because more than 100 countries have launched 3G worldwide and in many markets it is matured technology )
  • Operators have ended up with paying more than reasonable price for spectrum for UMTS unlike 2G ,because of unique auction method adopted by govt.
  • Their are more than 7 operators who have got 3G licences , which is also unique for India
  • Government is making compulsion for backward compatibility with GSM (2G) for every 3G operators which is again making things difficult to operators ...
  • Are operators ready with new revenue model for data service which will again boost ARPU to recover all this money ( 100000 crore only license fee +capex(infrastructure) + opex).?
  • then most important thing is what Indian customer is gonna do with so called "wireless broadband service "are operators are ready with applications and content which is ultimately gonna pay revenue to operators
  • Are operators ready to share their revenue with content providers which are gonna completely new industry ?
  • AND MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION HOW INDIAN CUSTOMER is gonna accept this new service ,and what farmer in a village of 700 people is gonna do with 3G ?
