By looking at the ferocity of the BWA auctions, the myth of India skipping 3G for 4G is going to become real. Now BWA auctions has become royal battle for 2 competing techologies of 4G ( WiMax Vs LTE (can also be read as Intel Vs Qualcommm)). It's great for the Indian consumers who have been deprived of fruits of 3G to have a direct landing in 4G straight from 2G. It's interesting to see whether operators who holds 3G spectrum will be deploying 3G or some compatible 4G technology straight in 3G spectrum. India is going to be first country in the world where 3G & 4G are going to be deployed simultaneously. Now it has become imperative for the regulator TRAI to speed-up the regulatory policy framework for 4G sooner than later. The speed at which 4G be deployed in India is completely in the hands of handset makers. We've to see how fast they can bring in TD-LTE and WiMax(if it wins atlease one slot) handsets into Indian market. It also depends on speed at which they can supply handsets which work in multiple modes (minimum 3 out of GSM,CDMA1X,EvDO,HSDPA,WiMax,TD-LTE). Here again I feel Aircel will surprise others like what it did during 3G auctions since they've very good experience in their limited fixed WiMax operations in Chennai and Bangalore. Still no one is clear even after 44 rounds of bidding which operators are looking for TD-LTE and who will go for WiMAX.

BWA auction might be an even bigger success than 3G source :: http://telecomyatra.afaqs.com/news/index.html?sid=912_BWA+auction+might+be+an+even+bigger+success+than+3G I feel TATA communications and Qualcomm to be very agressive.
