Aircel Limited is all set to roll its 3G service in India within the next 30 days as per report of the company’s chief operating officer. The sources have also told that the company was waiting for the mobile number portability services to touch the market which was launched earlier today.As per report of the sources, the private telecom company which is 74% owned by Malaysia’s Maxis Communications Bhd., with the balance owned by India’s Apollo Hospitals group has operations in all of India’s 22 telecom service areas, but has licenses for 3G services in 13 areas.
Well, it looks like the 3G market across the country is likely to get crowded soon and thus will bring the 3G service to customer at a more nominal price at which it is present today.
Chairman of the company Gurdeep Singh said that once mobile number portability, where subscribers can switch operators without changing numbers, is launched across the country from Jan. 20; Aircel expects to attract high-paying users from rivals.
Regarding the newly implemented MNP, Mr Singh told that in Haryana since the implementation of MNP in November 2010 just below 1% users had switched their operators from Aircel and he expects similar response in all areas across the country.
