Wireless Service Providers in India
Presently, only two companies provide mobile broad band services in India. Tata and Reliance are the key players. Tata’s usb modem mobile broad band is called photon+ and Reliance communications offers its own brand. Previously, they were providing the same modems at a speed of 120kbps. Now, with the advent of broad brand the speeds have considerably increased. Both these players are basically CDMA operators.
Two players support GSM support for Blackberry and iphone gadgets. They are Bharti Airtel and Vodafone. The new players in this GSM arena are again Reliance and Tata. Presently, the state owned BSNL only offers 3G mobile services. So, Push e-mails, live video streaming, video calls in black berry and iphone devices are yet to be launched by other operators.
