Those stats are real, with a peak speed of 21.1 Mbps, its a dream for Indians to access that pace. The ads of Idea 3G are specific to the point, fast Image uploads[And comments too!], Live TV etc. But have you thought about their Price strategy? This is the basic strategy list-
MRP(in Rs.) Free(in MB) Beyond Free
105 100 10p/10kb
205 250 10p/10kb
455 600 10p/10kb
655 1250 10p/10kb
745 2048 10p/10kb
1745 5120 10p/10kb
Now, that't not cheap, and I admit fast Internet is never cheap. Just trying to shed some light on the Customers who go blind watching the ads. To make the above stats more understandable, I would say to download a Movie, it would cost you Rs.455+. And if you go beyond the free usage, to download a song - more than 50 Rs. Now that's never cheap, I'd say better slow than pay.
Another highlight of these ads have been Live TV, yes that's very interesting! You can watch your favorite TV shows and Cricket/Football matches live on your Mobile - all you have to Dial is 555110! But how much will it cost? It costs Rs.3/Min. Which means to watch an entire Football match, it would cost you atleast Rs.300. What would your choice be? Watch TV paying the bulk amount, or take a moment to catch the TV next door?
Ive written down this totally in my perspective, it will be different for others, and those who can afford it - its Heaven! Share your thoughts.
