Reliance and TATA INDICOM 's Photon which has 3.1 mbps speed and belong to EVDO REV-A, has been already started.. Where as when BSNL try to launch EVDO _REV-0 Which has speed of 2.4 mbps two years ago , same was objected by TRAI EVDO require 3G license, hence declare BSNL service was illegal..this stopped the BSNL plan for EVDO and where the services were started could not be completed, for want of clarification..
Now TRAI and DOT shut their eyes even the both private players has no 3 G license but BSNL had it..
Is this a ploy to intimate other private service providers, that the 3 G license has already in thier pocket.. and other don't have to bother to participate in Tender?
If so , No body other than the cartel formed by the above two will participate in Tender and the bidding will not touch above the minimum.. In this scenerio, we are expecting another **** !!!
