		<description>MTNL has launched the services in Delhi on 5th of Feb 2009.A great great day for India but would have been greater if the private operators had also been enabled by suitable spectrum allocations.

The Tariff is up on the MTNL website.The Fixed charges for 3G are Rs 599 per month, little steep as the charges for data are seperate.But if one subscribes, great for video calls at Rs 3 per minute.
However the data charges are still high at Rs 5 per MB. So if you download an MP3 song of 4 MB, it costs you Rs 20. We hope that considering the internet usage being largely for video clips, Google maps and songs etc. an unlimited tariff would be announced as is the case in most networks. This will also enable mobile TV services to be practical. The Website does mention that Mobile TV would be announced soon. We hope that this would be a monthly subscription.
The Charm of 3G network with present tariff is therefore only for Video calls, which would bea reality if the 3G subscribers rise to a respectable number.

		<description>&lt;b&gt;@ Rizwan&lt;/b&gt;

I, too, have been a consumer of their TriBand services for almost 3 years now, and till date, their night unlimited plan rocks. I remember, MTNL was the very first provider who had the guts to provide u/l connections at speeds of 256 kbps and above, at affordable prices, when others still used u/l connections at freaking 40kbps and 56kbps at similar rates, from the local cable operators.

I have not had much experience with Dolphin&#039;s services, but I do believe that smaller the operations, better is the service within the &quot;little&quot; area that you operate in.

What say?</description>

		<description>Loved this, atleast one article that does not just rule out MTNL as a major contender to these private holdings. I used their triband and was really happy with the service, although support sucked.

Also, I think the Dolphin model was really cheap and had better network than my Vodafone. The only phone that worked in my 13 floor building elevator.... ;)</description>
