'2G, 3G rates will converge soon' - Hindu Business Line

New Delhi, March 11:

Betting big on 3G adoption with increasing penetration of smartphone users, Vodafone India said the 2G and 3G tariffs will converge in near future, although there is little scope for further cut in 3G rates.

According to the company, when it launched 3G services in 2010-11, the 3G tariffs were 6-7 times higher than 2G but this difference has now been reduced to just 1.5 times.

"We brought down the 3G data prices around four months back and we except 2G and 3G prices will converge in near future," Vodafone India Business Head (Delhi) Subrat Padhi said here. "The data prices in India are already one of the lowest in the world," he said.
