All of us know that BSNL is the only 3G service provider in India. However, we are yet to receive complete 3G coverage in all parts of India. As of now, we have BSNL 3G in select cities. Using 3G internet connection for our mobiles we will be able to the multimedia content more effectively. We will be able to download video content, movies, songs, games etc at a much faster pace. We will also be able to download streaming video without having to wait for hours.
Those who are interested in viewing the demo of 3G at any of the closest customer care center in the cities where 3G is already available. If you want to get 3G internet connectivity, you do not have to necessarily get a new number or go through the new registration formalities. You can get your 3G connection with your existing connection. Your tariffs will change accordingly. If you already have a 2G SIM card, you need not have to change your SIM you just need to upgrade the service to 3G.
BSNL promises speeds over 384 KBPS for its 3G network. As per TRAI speeds over 256 KBPS is classified as broadband. Many people get confused with GPS and 3G. GPS or Global Positioning Systemis a hardware feature and it depends on the handset that you use. You need to have a GPS gadget or phone with GPS facility. However to work with your GPS you will need internet connection. So when you get your 3G connection you will not automatically get GPS facility.
Some of us have concerns regarding data security with 3G network. Your data with BSNL 3G is absolutely safe. Soon we will be able to do a lot of things through our 3G mobile. We will be able to do our banking through 3G mobile network, pay utility bills. All these will make life easy for us as we can do many things while we are on the move. We will be able to save a lot of time as we can utilize our traveling time to deal with all these activities.
Those who would like to use their 3G in their laptops of PDA, can connect it to their laptops of computers using a data cable, which will connect your 3G mobile and your laptop. Alternatively, you can also get your 3G data card, which will be like a USB drive to access the internet using your 3G connection.
No other service providers are providing 3G internet service yet in India. Opening the 3G spectrum for the private service providers is still in the discussion phase and the public auction is yet to take place. The date for the public auction has been postponed for a number of times already. Even BSNL is very slow to expand its3G network to the other cities. They do not have the required infrastructure in place in all the cities. By the time we get complete 3G network in India, rest of the world would have moved to 4G or something different.
