That is certainly not a joke. For those who understand the broadband speeds would know what does this speed of 1GBPS mean.

For layman it would mean downloading a movie in 2 seconds flat!!!... For a HD Quality movie in 10 Seconds...

And who would be lucky one's to use it in near future?? The Japanese... Lucky *&)(*@^

NTT DoCoMo, the mobile service provider of Japan, expects it to be the norm by 2010... By that time, we will start thinking of this technology, and then our great government will have another set of spectrum issues. Why dont these other countries dont have spectrum issues?? or is India unique?? 'm sure...

Late... v late infact... But finally...

3G should soon rollout in India with the announcement made by the government that the spectrum to be released immediately. This announcement was made on Monday.

Apart from this, other good news is introduction of Mobile Number Portability. With Mobile Number Portability, users can now change theiroperators and switch to another operator without even changing the number. 

In Simple terms, if you want to change from Reliance to Airtel, Vodafone, etc or vice versa you can do so, and your number will remain same.

In 1st round, it would be introduced in 4 metros followed by rest of India.
