Airtel has finally launched it ’ s 3G services and decided to launch it in an event in Bangalore as we reported earlier.The main reason Airtel launched 3G first in Karnataka is because this circle is Airtel ’ s largest circle by revenue market share. The company plans to launch 3G services in all the 13 circles it won a license by March 2011 Sanjay Kapoor, CEO – Bharti airtel said, “ It is indeed the start of a new era when 3G services in India roll out on airtel’ s network. World over ‘ Data traffic’ on the back of high speed internet and use of social networking has already exceeded the ‘ Voice traffic’ . India is ushering in the domain – though later than most of the world – but no doubt we will catch up at a much faster speed. 3G is much more than a technology migration – it is a transformational shift – and airtel’ s focus would be to bring to its customers an enriched user experience on the back of a world class delivery network. I welcome all 745 million mobile customers of the country to be a part of this journey with airtel!” Airtel has deployed a HSPA network for offering 3G services and one can expect speeds upto 21 Mbps. Regarding tariffs , there will be both time-based plans which are billed per hour and flexi-shield plans for heavy users. More on that soon
