Starting with Pune in December, 50 other cities in Maharashtra
would get Third Generation mobile phone services that BSNL plans to
roll out, Mr. Aloke Kaul, the Chief General Manger, Maharashtra, of the
public sector telecom service provider announced at 5th 3G India 2009
Conference, held in Mumbai today.

BSNL and MTNL have been given
3G spectrum ahead of the auction of the radio waves for 3G services but
they would have to pay the same charges for the spectrum as would be
determined by the auctions expected in December this year.

As per news in media.

Now what does it mean for Airtel and Reliance or Vodafone.

Getting technology is cheap these days execution is important. I don't think BSNL or MTNL will gain much by gaining this license earlier. That would bode well for Airtel or Vodafone to adjust their marketing and features based on data from BSNL rollout.

On the other hand telecom war continues to cause steep market cap erosion in Bharati Airtel and Reliance , India's largest Telecom providers.
