Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) is getting ready to roll out 4G (very high speed wireless Internet) services in India by December 2011 or early 2012.
Reliance confirmed its telecom unit was “in the process of setting up a world-class broadband wireless network using state-of-the-art technologies and finalising the arrangement with leading global technology players, service providers, infrastructure providers, application developers, device manufacturers and others to help usher the 4G revolution into India”.
Reliance’s acquired Infotel , a pan-India spectrum winner for broadband wireless access last year, also is planning to scale up its commercial operations by the mid-2012.
The company, which made a comeback to the telecom sector last year, plans to offer fourth-generation or 4G-enabled data cards that can be plugged into computers, apart from providing tablets at a game-changing price of Rs 3,000 or even lower to hook customers, two executives said. RIL has also initiated talks with media and entertainment firms, including Walt Disney’s Indian venture UTV Software, to acquire content for its wireless broadband offerings.
