after exhaustion of the monthly data limits. Airtel’s 4G network in Bengaluru was inaugurated by Karnataka CM D. V. Sadananda Gowda.
Commenting on the occasion, Sanjay Kapoor, CEO – India & South Asia, Bharti Airtel
said, “As seen the world over, the total data usage is exploding and is
doubling each year to grow to nearly 3.6 hexabytes by 2014. With the
launch of 4G, India will move from being a follower in technology to
matching the world in this domain. Leading from the front, Airtel is now
the only operator that gives citizens of the Information Technology
capital of Bengaluru, access to entire spectrum of broadband services
including 2G, 3G and now 4G - thereby giving the customers never seen
before data experience”.
As part of an introductory offer by
Airtel, customers subscribing to 4G services will now be given a
cashback for the CPE / dongle - thus bringing device cost to customers
zero. Airtel believes the offer will help pave way for mass adoption of
4G services. Airtel 4G is now also available in an 30GB pack priced at Rs. 2,999.
Airtel is also offering 10 Bollywood
movies free of cost for customers during the first month. With a monthly
