I am pretty sure that India is going to be one of those countries that is going to skip the entire 3G thing and go straight to WiMAX/4G option. There is a lot of excitement there, and why not. It can clearly help connect the rural and non-metro areas.

It is chargeable to send an SMS; ranges from a low tariff for a simple text messages to a high tariff for MMS and special SMS (like responding to a TV show query etc).

Free to receive, I believe. You pay to send. Either way, the US telecoms are looking at a much different way to offer mobile services. A much better way for the consumers too.

Telecom industry in India is boom and will grow really high.

In India, SMS marketing strategy is also key factor and company pays hefty amount to market their product by SMS. SMS is free in India.

No wonder all big companies prefer to invest their in India.

Its WIN WIN situation for any company who can step in.
