^^Defintely. Prices of GPRS are surely going to fall a bit once 3G is launched. But for a year or so, 3G will be out of reach of most people(Due to its price)

BSNL will launch 3G phones by December

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has decided to launch the next generation of 3G phones by the year end.

The Chairman and managing director of BSNL, Kuldeep Goyal, was in the city on Friday to launch BSNL’s managed network services.

He said, “We will launch 3G services a north Indian city other than Delhi and later roll it out across the country,” said Goyal.

Its was launched in Goa in September 08, I am currently surfing using the BSNL EVDO modem.
here is how the pricing stands..

ZTE MG478(AC8700) EVDO MODEM = 3500/- (+Taxes)
ACTIVATION = 500/-
MONTHLY RENTAL = 550/-(add 200/- if modem on rent)
SPEED = Depends on Signal strength(4 bars = max speed around 800Kbps)

I stay abt 1.5 Kms from the BSNL Tower and get 3 to 4 bars. The max speed I got was 800Kbps.
Please note that the speed is not consistent. At times I can DL at 72KBps but most of the time its between 30KBps to 40KBps.

BSNL provides u with a shared IP address. So its a headache to DL from rapidshare and other sites unless u have a premium account.
Torrents S.u.c.k...

^^ Don't believe in their hype. Unless its in The Tribune or some other reputed daily, its not worth banking upon.

[Vishal Patil]

I think the rates will be too much.
If they charge 10ps/10KB currently for GPRS.
For 3G the rates will be so high that you might need to sell your pants for opening a few webpages. If above rates are true, what about the download limit. 1GB is suppose (which will also include surfing)

[ThinkFree]

^^MTNL/BSNL too costly? Must be joking.
