Sorry, but it's not impressive that you have direct contact with people generating insignificant anecdotal reports of early rollout "unacceptable levels of busy signals and dropped calls".

FWIW, that's pretty much identical with the stuff I read on some Infocomm message boards last fall (I'll see if I can dig up the link).

If it's not network quality, why do you think that Reliance only added 400,000 subscribers during March while the GSM carriers added 1.5 million?

The momentum is obvious for Infocomm's future, given the technology, the vision, determination and capital investment by the powerful parent company, not to mention the financial support of the banks and the investing public.

I dont think that this is anything that is a long-term problem....but it does have to be addressed. Unicom shows what happens when the CDMA networks have the appearance (or the reality) of having an inferior network....they are still adding more GSM subs than CDMA subs each month, more than two years after launch.
