Elaborating further on the minister’s view about the inauguration of 4G services in Kolkata, the report stated, “Mr. Sibal said that a lot of work remains to be done by the industry to make available low cost affordable devices. A true revolution will only come when government data on education, health and public services can also be put on the information super highway.”

It had been earlier reported that with the onset of 4G services in the country, subscribers will be able to njoy download speeds of around 100 Megabits per second on the move, which can go up to 1 Gigabits per second, when at a fixed location. Airtel holds BWA spectrum across four telecom circles, namely Kolkata, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Punjab that it won in 2010 after paying Rs.3,314.36 crores.
As aforementioned, the launch has made Bharti Airtel the first service provider in the country to offer 4G LTE TDD services. Although other popular companies, like Reliance Industries Ltd, Tikona Digital Networks Pvt. Ltd., Aircel Ltd, Augere Holdings and Qualcomm Inc. hold BWA licences, like Airtel; they are yet to make an announcement.
