An analyst with Frost & Sullivan has said 3G roaming will ensure effective spectrum usage. In a statement from the company, Mr Abhishek Chauhan, Senior Consultant, ICT Practice, South Asia and Middle East said, “Government decisions and policy measures should be taken keeping in mind the impact on consumers. In order to provide seamless 3G connectivity to consumers, 3G roaming pacts are necessary.”
He said from an operator’s perspective, as they have invested heavily in procuring spectrum and deploying the required infrastructure, a pan-India presence is a requisite for making sensible business cases.
“Therefore, 3G roaming pacts would ensure effective spectrum usage, provide enriched service quality through seamless connectivity and, thereby, help bridge the digital divide in the country by increasing the penetration of mobile broadband services in the long term.”
