MTNL bring 3G in India
Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL) on Thursday launched the third generation (3G) mobile service 'Jaadu' in New Delhi.
Communications and IT Minister A Raja, who was present on the occasion, made a video call, demonstrating the capabilities of 3G services.
At the launch event, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said, "I congratulate MTNL and the communications minister for launching the 3G service."
"Competition has to be the major propeller of the Indian economy and it has to be a sustainable one," he said while demonstrating the mobile TV facility available with 3G services.
"However, effective objective and impartial regulations have to be an integral part of all these processes for investors to invest further," he added.
Added Raja, "BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd) and MTNL have already been allotted 3G and broadband wireless access spectrum with a view to ensuring early rollout of 3G and Wi-Max services in the country."
While MTNL has rolled out its 3G services only in Delhi, BSNL will launch its services in Chennai next month.
