August 1995 witnessed a historic event when the first call was made over a mobile services network. However the country was late in adoption of the technology as compared to the fact that the world’s first calling over 2G network was made in 1991. Again, compare this with global scenario where countries such as Japan and South Korea had started rapidly embracing 3G technology way back in 2001 while the 3G spectrum auctions itself were conducted around 2009 in India.
