Mystery 2G Network (404-00) Live over Kolkata.

Few days back my fellow twitter user Iman Aryon informed me about a new 2G network available over Kolkata - 404-00 or INA-00.

Earlier this code was allotted to MTS India in Rajasthan, we got informed by MTS that they are not testing.

Then who is it? We are yet to know.

In the mean time, ITU Mobile Codes says 404-00 is alloted to Dishnet Wireless/Aircel, Madhya Pradesh and Shyam Telelink/MTS India has 405-00 in Rajasthan.

As Airtel got 900MHz band spectrum in Kolkata in last auction, they could start 3G testing. (note that Idea will roll out 3G on 900MHz in Delhi in April, 2015) But then why it's showing 2G only.

Reliance Infotel - My Thoughts + All Updates



Reliance Industries owned Infotel Broadband is going to roll out 4th Generation services on LTE platform and plans to offer data as low as Rs 10/GB, as reported by Economics Times. The report also tells that RIL will also bundle the data with multiple devices. Entry level tablets will be major device for Infotel's LTE offerings and it may cost as low as Rs 3500/ ~$70 (Just remember Aakash - the $35 tablet).

But this report has nothing new, all these stuffs are already said on ET. RIL is keeping all of its BWA plans under hood and no one can have it. Even their employees are also very secretive regarding BWA launch. Interestingly this latest 2-page report by ET creates a storm among telecom portals - Medianama & goBroadband makes a follow up story.

MoneyControl published a report on October 3, 2011 saying it can be Operation Vijay for Reliance as Mukesh Ambani re-enters telecom space. But this story also does not have the substance to make us cheerful. All stories on media are based on rumor or market speculation.

But only story that caught my brain is by Forbes India, says Reliance Juggernaut On The Move. Again! The story depicts the entry of RIL in telecom space as battle of Titans - 'The first time Mukesh Ambani disrupted Indian telecom, Sunil Mittal survived, even emerged stronger. Can he pull it off a second time?'
