Respected Sir (Videocon waly) bhayia ji phalay aapnay jahan 2G licence (UP WEST OR UP EAST, ETC) jeeta hai.waha per aap apni 2G service launch karo aur acchi (Quality) service do……..India mein 3G toh fail ho gaya hai …kuki 3G itna expensive hai ki koi bhi common man iska istmal nahi kar sakta hai…..jab tak 3G ke sabhi plans GPRS waly monthly plans ke barabar nahi pahuchte hai tab tak 3G common man tak nahi pauch sakta hai…… aur aap 4G ki baat kar rahae ho……….

Mishra Sahab, abhi spectrum allot hi kaha huya hai company ko Bihar, UP(E) aur UP(W) mein. New frequencies jab allot karega Telecom Department tabhi baat banegi. Puraney license ko toh ab bhool hi jayo. Uska use karkey toh company launch nahi karegi service. Toh ab infrastucture ready karney mein time toh lagega hi. Jaha services bandh kar di hai company ne like Mumbai, Kerala, Tamil Nadu etc. waha se equipment move hongey Bihar aur UP mein. Waise bhi ab comapny ne 20 years ke liye license liya hai toh network roll-out ki conditions bhi new license k according hi hai. Unke pass 2-3 saal ka time hai service shuru karney kaa.

What a foolish implementation (4G)?. Videocon, first of all you launch 2G services in Tamilnadu, then launch 3G. Finally you launch 4G services.
Mitesh March 5, 2013 at 11:47 am
The spectrum auction is over and Videocon has retained license for 6 circles only including Bihar-Jharkhand, Gujarat, Haryana, MP-Chattisgarh, UP (E) and UP(W). Not retaining license in Tamil Nadu or other 14 circles was company’s decision. You can’t force a company to launch services in TN just because you want it. Company has avoided all those circles where spectrum cost was too high which included Tamil Nadu also and they avoided some low cost circles too because that were not good for doing business.
The spectrum given to the companies in November auction is liberalized and they are free to launch services of their choice using the same. So it company’s decision whether they want to use the spectrum for 2G or 3G or 4G. We are no one to guide Videocon to launch services in TN and which service they launch first and which after that?
Videocon CEO has made clear that they are willing to use the spectrum more for data services than voice. Now it will be their decision whether they provide 2G+4G or not or use the spectrum for LTE data services only. Mr. Sudhakar, stop living in past and accept the present. Videocon is gone from your circle and they will concentrate on the 6 circles where they retained license. I know you needed Videocon in Tamil Nadu because they were cheap but now they have also hiked their tariffs like other operators. It would be better if you move on and use Airtel/Idea/BSNL/Aircel/Vodafone or any other operator of your choice. There are better options available. Videocon and Uninor are no more Pan-India operators but regional operators now.
It would be better if you stop commenting on companies which aren’t available in Tamil Nadu. Few days back I read your comment on Loop Mobile article and it was shocking for me to see you commenting on an operator which operates only in Mumbai. I don’t know why you want all companies to operate Pan-India? All operator are similar in providing voice and data services. The only thing that differs is quality and I think there is not a single player available in your TN with quality services thats why you keep on asking Videocon to launch services.
@TelecomTalk, while posting articles related to Videocon, Uninor or Loop Mobile, start mentioning that so and so operator is operational in this or that circle only otherwise non-sense comments like these will continue.
