All Stuffs About MTS 3GPLUS and MBLAZE ULTRA

MTS India, the Indian telecom service provider of Russian Sistema has launched its next generation high speed data network in 9 circles where it's operating.

Why is 3GPlus?

MTS is already offering EVDO Rev B Phase II services in Rajasthan circle under MBlaze Ultra or simply Ultra brand name. So why does it create hype with 3GPlus? The reason is pretty simple. Due to regulatory issues CDMA operators can not say EVDO as 3G technology, that's a problem in marketing their HSD services against GSM operators' 3G/WCDMA/UMTS/HSPA services.

But MTS got the unified license, so that there is no technology restriction. That's why now they can say EVDO as 3G.

Buggy MBlaze Application?

I am using MTS MBlaze for around 2 years since its inception in Indian wireless broadband market. But I am very much in doubt that the default MBlaze application is fucking buggy!

It disconnects the internet connection in the middle, and auto-reconnects for a few seconds. It is done so silently that even you could not understand that disconnection happens. Bad for you if you are doing some online transaction. (MTS MBlaze v 1.0.27)
