What?
As Long there is UPA in power, everything will be delayed.

Here comes the delay from from Govt end.
Trai extends deadline for sending views on 4G services - Economic Times
I was hoping to change my ISP once infotel launches, but I can't afford to wait another 8 months.
Now I have to go for either BSNL or Airtel.

Same here bro. looks like this Sibal needs more black money due to which he delayed the project :distress:

8 months?? from where did u get this figure. the posted link/trai recommendation has nothing to do with reliance infotel.

4G auctions in 700mhz band was going to be delayed anyway...after 3G & BWA auction it was impossible fr the telcos to gather more money fr this auction.
Moreover there are virtually 'no' LTE 700 mhz cellphones in the market. :distant:
unfortunately sibal has taken a right decision this time.:grin:

From IM's post
telecom minister Kapil Sibal said that he expects 4G services will be launched in second half of 2012.

It talks about BWA bro, Its nothing to deal with 700 Mhz.
The regulator has also extended the time for submitting counter comments on the paper 'IMT-Advanced Mobile Wireless Broadband Services' till December 7, from November 7 earlier.

Okie. I need to do some correction. It looks like there is delay in Advanced LTE whereas LTE services will be launched as mentioned earlier by Dec 2011 or early 2012.

Impressions from the LTE Asia Summit 2011 in New Delhi, India - 4G Trends
Ericsson has bagged a contract for rolling out the TD-LTE network of Augere in Madhya Pradesh. Augere won BWA spectrum in Madhya Pradesh, including Chhattisgarh, during the auctions held in Q2 2010. The company will roll out services early next year, with a soft launch planned for Q2 2012.
Augere will offer TD-LTE services under the ZOOSH brand to residential and business customers in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh circles. Augere initially expects to launch USB dongles for its TD-LTE followed by smartphones, tablets, etc. In India, Augere is up against RIL in the Madhya Pradesh circle. It is expected to share radio access by way of intra-circle roaming agreements with RIL. Being a greenfield operator in India, Augere needs to keep its backhaul networks ready to cater to new bandwidth-hungry services and applications that will be driven by video content.
Bharti Airtel has decided to adopt a multivendor strategy for its TD-LTE network rollout in four circles (Maharashtra, Kolkata, Karnataka and Punjab) in India. It has selected Huawei for TD-LTE rollout in Karnataka. Per an industry source, 500 TD-LTE base stations are to be deployed in the first phase of the BWA rollout in Karnataka. Bharti Airtel has also selected ZTE for TD-LTE rollout in Kolkata. ZTE is to commission 850 sites in Phase-I of the Kolkata BWA rollout. Bharti Airtel has the financial muscle and the passive infrastructure to make the best use of its BWA spectrum.

U r vehemently getting confused. :wink:It has nothing to do with BWA@ 2.3ghz which has been already been auctioned. The article is about pre-consultation paper for the auction of 700mhz band to be released by doordarshan etc. next year.
Okie. I need to do some correction. It looks like there is delay in Advanced LTE whereas LTE services will be launched as mentioned earlier by Dec 2011 or early 2012.
Again the delay is in the auction of the 700mhz band to be used for LTE services just like LTE(to be launched) in 2.3ghz band by rel. infotel,augere etc.
Now u may think why again LTE@700mhz? simple answer that band needs 3 times lower capex/opex/tower infra expenditure+ better propagation characteristics suited for mobile usage. That is the reason airtel and other incumbent telcos didn't bid fiercely for BWA auctions as they were interested in the 700mhz band.
And about LTE advanced it will not come before 2014-2015 so its out of question now.:saturn:

Sry, my Mistake Buddy. I overlooked it. You are correct. The article which i posted in Post# 30 is all about 700 Mhz (698 - 806 Mhz) popularly known as UHF range .

In this case too existing player won't be getting benefit as govt as clear cut stated that those player having 800 and 900 Mhz spectrum will not be part of auction. And it will be made available to newer players . Videocon and others seems to racing for it.
Videocon ‘switches off’ 4.15 lakh Gujarat subscribers - Money - DNA

LTE Advanced is a part of IMT-A as per consultation paper.

existing 900 mhz telcos will also get the spectrum @700mhz but at a later stage as per reports....The daunting task will be the refarming of 800 & 900 mhz bands and shifting their users to 4G standards. :hug:
