Mobile communications had been around for a long time, but always as a limited market, constrained by the radio spectrum.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE

There are major advantages to remaining out of the radio for a long time before we have something that crosses into the mainstream properly.
Government must make spectrum free. There should be free network, but it is not happening.
Every time a new technology comes along, we feel we're about to break through to a place where we will not be able to recover. The advent of broadcast radio confused people. It delighted people, of course, but it also changed the world.
No country should waste wireless spectrum. Especially not India, where the cellphone has become the personal computer.
The mobile market is exploding and it makes perfect sense for a media company like ours to create a real content destination for the billions of cell-phone users around the world.

For years everyone looked toward the demise of radio when television came along. Before that, they thought talking movies might eliminate radio as well. But radio just keeps getting stronger.
