Against the trend of rising mobile internet tariff, state-run telecom company BSNL is likely to cut its 3G data rates by at least 50 per cent once the next phase of its network expansion is completed.
“We estimate that 3G data rates can be reduced by at least 50 per cent compared to prevailing rates under phase 8 of our network expansion,” BSNL Chairman and Managing Director Anupam Shrivastav told PTI.
The company at present offers 3G mobile internet at par with 2G rates of leading of telecom companies. It sells 1 GB of 3G mobile internet service for Rs 175 and 2GB for Rs 251.
