Ok to Video Calling

There is a good news for consumers as they would be able to make video calls under 3G services now.

Under this service when ever you make a call you can see the receiver talking live. A large section of consumers were waiting for this service to start.
 
In the beginning third generation 3 G services had to pass through rough phases. The Intelligence Bureau had raised objection that led to cancellation of service awarded to Tata Tele by telecom department.

While most of the service providers have girded up to implement 3 G services, IB had said that it was not able to do what is known as “real time monitoring test’ of 3 G vedio calls.

Today’s decision has brought relief not only to consumers but also to service proveders. Better brace up for vedio calling

3G video calls rollout won't be impacted by security issue !!

New Delhi: Rollout of the much-awaited 3G services is unlikely to be affected by the security issue surrounding interception of video calling, research firm KPMG said.

"3G rollout plans have already been finalised by most operators. There are bigger challenges in terms of rolling out the services in a cost-effective manner and no operator has got a pan-India licence," KPMG Executive Director Jaideep Ghosh told reporters.

So, the rollout of 3G services from the operator's side is not going to change much because of this particular issue, he added.

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) had asked telecom operators Tata Teleservices and RCom to stop video calling services till they adhered to security norms for its legal interception.

Asked if telecom players would put on hold rolling out 3G services on the back of the government orders, Ghosh said, "Operators have paid huge amounts to get the licences and they would like to roll out services soon. I don't think operators would like to wait for six months or a year. Services would go on, only video calls have been put on hold."
