Even their own support staff is not trained with all the information. Big-brother's hand of support will only take you so far these days.

It took me close to 4 hours to get my BSNL SIM GPRS activated and get its settings from some page on bsnl website which probably even google had not indexed then. The customer care was totaly clueless I tried this couple of months back, might not be true now.

If i have to just surf net i am much better of with broadband at home. The point is, 3G service really make difference when there are some cool apps and services built around that platform.Link that to smart phones like Iphone and G1,thats when the real value of 3G is realized. On same note,3G is a life time golden opportunity for Tech/mobile starup's to build apps around Indian markets. I dont think people realise this fully. Ashish,can we have get some figures how big is Symbian/WindowsCe/Andriod/Apple mobile developer community for India?? 3G takes usability to great next level and until we have good size of mobile app developers ,I suspect the cream will be scooped by others app devs serving europe/us (may be before we even realize what we missed !!!!)

Most of BSNL/MTNL users are cost conscious people so no wonder they are not buying it! How much peneteration have BSNL/MTNL got among really tech savy or business oriented users?

To most users, 3G doesn't really mean anything. 2. BSNL/ MTNL have not been able to introduce it to users at all. How do you expect people to get to know about a new thing unless you make a noise? 3. Many people in Delhi & Mumbai know about 3G launch but they simply won't switch to MTNL (everyone knows how they serve). Instead, we'll wait for Airtel/ Vodafone (any private player for that matter) to launch 3G service. Might be true for BSNL circles as well as corporate users don't change cell nos. easily. Irony is, BSNL & MTNL have officially launched 3G services. But it's Reliance & Tata making all the buzz about their data cards offering 3.1 Mbps (actually 3G version on CDMA network).
