Indiantelevision.com: GSM Association (GSMA), the global trade association for GSM-based mobile operators, plans to launch a “3G for all” program to bring 3G multimedia services and mobile internet access to many more people in both the developed and the developing worlds. The body plans to establish a core set of common requirements for 3G handsets to create the economies of scale that will allow mobile phone suppliers to rapidly bring down the cost of manufacturing these high-tech devices.

:-  GSMA has initiated a programme to introduce low cost 3G phones in India. “We would like it to come down to sub-$100 levels early next year, assuming 3G services are launched by ’06-end in India,” said Craig Ehrlich, chairman of the GSMA. This will introduce widespread adoption of 3G services.
