3G Services to stimulate Investment in Indian Telecom Sector

Indian government has almost finalized its policy on issuance of 3G spectrum and the auction is expected to take place in the next fiscal 2009-10. Once allocated, India will see huge investment in its telecom market for commercial rollout of 3G telecom services in the country. At present, only two PSUs, BSNL and MTNL, have been allowed by the government to rollout 3G services across the country.

The move of Indian government to allow foreign operators to directly bid for 3G frequencies is likely to intensify the competition in the market. Operators are mulling their strategies to get a chunk of the market which is still in its deployment stage. 3G spectrum has four-five times higher voice capacity than 2G spectrum, which could play a critical role in overcoming the limited availability of 2G spectrum.
