Those of you who never gave up on the MTNL services in Mumbai will finally have an option to opt for the much-yearned-for 3G services in the city. Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) in association with Alcatel-Lucent is going to officially announce the roll-out of 3G services in Mumbai tomorrow, May 15.

While the fate of the 3G spectrum auction hangs in the air, state-owned telecom service operators MTNL and BSNL have had the privilege to offer 3G services in various parts of the country.

Even though Mumbai was promised 3G services way back for a New Year launch, MTNL cast its spell of Jadoo on Delhi first in December 2008. Followed by the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) launching 3G services in Agra, Dehradun, Jammu, Jaipur, Jalandhar, Lucknow, Shimla, Patna, Ranchi, Haldia, and Durgapur.

Late, but nevertheless, here's what you as a 3G services subscriber could expect from MTNL - mobile data transfer speeds of 2 mbps from the present 144 kbps, video screening of calls, video on demand, mobile surveillance, live TV, movie downloads, and more as and when MTNL supports it.
