New Delhi, May 20, 2010 - According to technology market intelligence firm, CMR India, the high-decibel, 34-day e-auction process for 3G spectrum for India’s USD 25 Billion mobile services industry which concluded on May 19, has not thrown up even a single pan-India player. This phenomenon needs to be watched in the medium term.

"With the imminent advent of 3G services the India Telecoms industry is going to enter a new phase. This phase is expected to witness introduction of innovative services and heightened collaboration between Telecoms players, application developers, IT infrastructure providers, content providers and consumer products companies. This will pave the path towards the emergence of 'Consumer 2.0' characterised by seamless provision of content across platforms and client devices.

However, the issue of quality of service must be taken up sooner than later," says Kapil Dev Singh, CMR India's strategic business advisor.
