Still looking not yet implemented. Airtel would try to trash the regulation as it still gives 512kbps after fup speed on plans less than 1k.
 
TRAI to examine minimum Internet speeds of telecom companies

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) will soon release a consultation paper on minimum Internet speed offered by telecom operators.

There has been reports that the government is likely to increase the speed requirement to 2 Mbps from the current 512 Kbps for Internet services to be classified as broadband. The announcement for this is expected to be made at the end of this month.

As per reports, the Department of Telecom (DoT) might not go ahead with TRAI’s proposal on allowing mobile services onboard aircraft. A DoT standing committee, which evaluated the proposal, has said it is advisable to permit only Internet as in-flight connectivity in the Indian airspace at this stage.

thanks to small companies we have already 1GBps and these cartoons are still fighting over 2MBps minimum, not less than 100MBps uplload/download should be min speed, with they way content is now being shared online !
 
Ahem!! Not all the cities have that luxury!!
My Dad living in Nagpur is still stuck at freaking 1Mbps Post FUP with BSNL
So this would be a welcome move for Many Tier 2 Cities and below
 
point i was making was 2MBps wont be enough to steam HD content without buffering over devices, they should be looking at min 10MBps plus now,
 
I know but considering where we live...I think making 2Mbps mandatory would still be freaking great..I mean I still remember how much time it took to jump from 256-512
