4G in India next year

2012 would mark the introduction of 4G (mobile telephony) in India. Telecom equipment vendors and service providers have already started testing the 4G gear and technology for its eventual rollout in the country.
While talking to a English daily Chandra Prakash, Telecom Commission member (technology) and ex-officio union secretary said that the 4G equipment and technology is on trial as service providers hold BWA (broadband wireless access) licenses. And under license terms, if BWA license holders failed to cover 50 per cent of the rural area by 2015, the spectrum could be withdrawn.

Earlier, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) had released a consultation paper on 4G for high-speed wireless services and it had pointed out several key issues in the consultation paper included suitable spectrum band, block size of spectrum to be auctioned, maximum spectrum permitted to bidder, eligibility criteria for bidding, roll out obligations, spectrum usage charges, quality of service parameters and security issues.
