We have developed these services and tariff plans
keeping in mind convenience and affordability of the users. The response to our ‘Gold Standard’ 3G services has been overwhelming with both existing users of
GPRS and data services, as well as the first time users subscribing to these
services in UP West and Uttarakhand,” said N.F. Aibara, chief operating officer
