Till 2024 Hyderabad remains the capital of both states, and later Andhra got its own capital - Amaravati.

Airtel Priority Postpaid

Globally it is believed that odds of 'G' are not successful commercially, as 1G, 3G and now 5G - as investment did not give much pleasure to the revenue book. However as 6G is not coming til 2028-2030, I guess operators are looking ways to make money out of 5G. 

Earlier I explained how Jio leveraging their deployment of 5G-Standalone (5G-SA) technology to launch its Air Fiber services and has become world's largest operator on Fixed Wireless Access (5G-FWA) in July last year. Jio expanded its FWA services with UBR (unlicensed band radio) over 5GHz band.

চুঁচুড়ার ঘণ্টাঘাট এবং ঘণ্টা গির্জার গল্প

আগেই বলেছি যে কলকাতা থেকে 25-50 কিলোমিটার দূরত্বে হুগলী নদীর ধার ঘেঁষে গড়ে উঠেছিল একাধিক ইউরোপীয় বাণিজ্যকেন্দ্র তথা উপনিবেশ - বারাকপুরে ব্রিটিশরা, উল্টোদিকে শ্রীরামপুরে ড্যানিশরা, তার উত্তরে চন্দননগরে ফরাসীরা, চুঁচুড়াতে ডাচ বা ওলন্দাজরা, এবং ব্যাণ্ডেলে পর্তুগীজরা। 

আজকের গল্প চুঁচুড়া ফেরিঘাটের একটু উত্তরে ঘণ্টাঘাট নিয়ে। এই ঘাটে কি ঘণ্টা ছিল? কোথায় গেল সেই ঘণ্টা?

Why BSNL 4G Has So Much Issues?

From my last post on BSNL's official entry into 4G space, I am continuing here. Making it a brief, BSNL 4G is giving download speed of 20-30Mbps on 10/5MHz x 700/2100MHz band using LTE-FDD in 2025 while Airtel's initial 4G offering on 20MHz x 2300MHz on LTE-TDD was upto 40Mbps downlink

So BSNL's using lower bands with less bandwidth those should offer lower downlink speed, that's what I am getting. But BSNL 4G is having coverage issues, why?
