3G services in India
Telecomm in the world, and even in India, has gone through a huge number of changes. Its evolution through ‘generations’ has brought us to the age of 4G, today but the topic of this report will be 3G, still a new offering in developing markets like India. The third Generation of mobile telecommunications technology, or 3G is the set of networks that support data services exceeding speeds of 200 Kbit/s. Despite this, many ‘3G’ services advertised provide higher speed than the minimum technical requirements for a 3G service, purely to one up competition and to woo customers to purchase their service or to entice existing customers to upgrade to the 3G service. The main aim of this is to increase the number of subscriptions for the 3G services. 3G telecomm services find application in many areas like mobile Internet access, wireless voice telephony, video calls, fixed wireless Internet access and mobile TV. 3G includes a set of standards used for mobile telecommunication services and networks, and also mobile devices that comply with the IMT-2000 specifications, set by the International Telecommunication Union.
