Motorola to Test 4G in India


Yes, you read it right

What? 4G, In India? We have had a torrid time implementing the 3G spectrum and license and now that first of the 3G Services have started trickling in, Motorola wants to do a trial run of 4G in India!

And they seem to be extremely optimistic about it. According to
reports, the company will soon approach the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) for a trial spectrum allotment for testing LTE (Long Term Evolution) services in India. Now, the worrying thing about this is that the implementation of 4G will shed water on the Government's plan to raise Rs.35,000 crore by selling spectrum for 3G Services. Looks like we'll soon see some interesting developments on this front in the near future.

As for LTE, we can expect insane data speeds of up to 70Mbits/s with this one. We don't have those kinds of speeds even on our broadband networks today. Too much too soon? Only time will tell.
