what is elite in 3G? many countries have been on 3G networks since past 2 years. Barring USA, they follow their on CDMA standards. Please, report the news as it should be reported. Moving towards 3G netwrok is logical transition and all countries will make this switch according to their needs. Likewise, Digital TV will replace cable operators as per the market requirements. There is nothing elite in it.
I have been using 3G service from past 1 year for surfing(emails) and video calls. Lookig forward for airtel 3G connection for hassel free surfing when i visit India :)

My friend Nithin, USA uses EVDO(CDMA) and WCDMA(GSM) technologies to deliver 3G services. They just happen to have a larger number of CDMA users than GSM.

And please illuminate us with your opinion on EVDO and UMTS that EVDO is better than the other one. Any facts or figures to support? Or just speaking of gut feeling?Waiting for comments. Can take offline also. thebedazzled1 at rediffmail dot com

3G might be elite for you. However, "India joined the elite list of countries" having 3G netwrok doesnt make a country elite or lets say you dont have to be elite for having a 3G netwrok. It is only a question about demand and supply.

Just because someone disagrees with your point of view doesn't mean you start stereotyping.
And yes - 3G is going to be more expensive than regular 2G networks. Does that automatically mean it shouldn't be introduced in India?
