Why are people so eager for the launch of 3G by Airtel which will of course provide crappy service at overpriced rates? Their Edge network was not functional in most parts of Delhi as late as mid-2008. Most trans-Yamuna areas and all of Punjabi bagh, Pitampura, Rohini, Janak Puri and Paschim Vihar got Edge network in 2009 only. That is over 50% of the population in Delhi. How can anyone expect them to provide coverage beyond central Delhi in the starting? Even MTNL had much better coverage of their Edge network in Delhi in 2005.
