TOI sources told them that Airtel would be launching 4G service in Kolkata on 10th, today. And it’s also believed that Kapil Sibbal, minister of Department of Telecommunication will inaugurate the service. Last night Airtel’s site displayed 4G tariff webpage, however it’s pulled off now.

Probably one big announcement that Airtel made at GSMA event held at New Delhi – Airtel’s going to launch TD-LTE 4G service in Kolkata in this month itself.

Aircel, Airtel both have begun pre-order registrations for iPhone 4S. While Airtel started selling only iPhone 4S 16GB and 32GB variants, Aircel started selling all 3 variants. And within sometimes after opening registrations, 64GB variant by Aircel got tagged with SOLD OUT. The price is indeed heftier, one cause is the high USD-INR exchange rate –...

Ironically Airtel and Aircel have released press releases, which is word-to-word exact except their company name – these guys states, iPhone 4 coming in India in coming months, oh they’re coming since last year’s statements. First thing to come in your mind – Apple seriously thinks India is useful to dump their old, almost out-dated... 

Today, Airtel announced a webpage-based Broadband TV starting at Rs. 49, that’s very cheap. But there’s always a “but” (no vulgar here) on Airtel’s services.
