Tata Docomo 3g Is Coming_ Amritsar

Tata Docomo, the joint venture of TTSL and Japan’s telecom major NTT Docomo has announced launch of next gen 3G mobile services by diwali.

TTSL is one of those companies who operate both on CDMA and GSM technologies to offer telecom services throughout the country. The company has reached the mark of 80 million subscribers on GSM and CDMA platform at the end of September, 2010.

As Tata Docomo, the pioneer of per second tariff is going to be first private operator to start 3G services there are immense speculations and expectations from them. TTSL bagged 3G spectrum for nine circles in the auction held in May this year.

As of now only BSNL and MTNL – state owned operator duo together have been offering 3G services through out the nation.

Coverage & Roaming:

Tata Docomo will launch 3G services in 9 circles out of total 22 telecom circles of India. Tata Docomo gives its 3G services a miss in all of 4 metros – Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata & Mumbai and another two lucrative Category ‘A’ circles – Tamilnadu and Andra Pradesh.

As it is missing out high revenue circles, there is a chance of fewer takers of 3G. But as BSNL with its sick marketing strategy can not grab a huge 3G subscribers in these circles there are high chances of Tata Docomo as fast mover.
