No, I'm not asking whether or not India should be 3G enabled? No second thought on it and it just can't be otherwise.
However, I'm only trying my bit to put a thought on the dilemma that the Indian Government and related bodies are in, with regard to the most touted technologies of our time, the Third Generation, aka 3G. India's journey to become 3G began over a decade now. More so ever, it hasn't reached its culmination point yet.
As per records, India is the second largest, as well as the most competitive, growing telecom market in the world, just behind China and much beyond the 'mighty 'US'. Recently, a telecom technologist, I'd a chance to talk with, said that India is by no way behind any of the 'advanced' telecom markets. In fact, India is in much more advanced than these 'advanced' ones.
So by no means is India lacking and nor should it be shying away from taking up a new technology. The country has the manpower, intelligence and technology in place to welcome this 3G into its thresholds.
And just like any other new technology, 3G will also have its share of initial hiccups. And like every other technology 3G will also have its takers and a rightful time, hopefully very soon...
