this is the great news for all of us (i.e. 3G lovers like me )

The telecoms tribunal has overturned a government ban on pacts between carriers that allow them to provide 3G services beyond their licensed zones - a decision that will help the firms expand high-speed data services faster and cut their capital expenditure.
The cost of purchasing 3G airwaves in a 2010 auction was so high that no single carrier won a nationwide permit. Bharti Airtel Ltd, Vodafone and Idea Cellular Ltd, currently the country's top three carriers, entered into pacts with each other to provide 3G services beyond their licensed zones.
The telecoms ministry then banned the pacts, saying they enabled the companies to offer 3G services without buying permits.
The reasoning behind the tribunal's decision was not immediately known. A detailed judgement is expected later on Tuesday. In 2012, it had given a split verdict on an appeal by the carriers and last year the Supreme Court asked the companies to not add new 3G customers as the case continued.
We are very pleased with ruling, & said Rajan Mathews, director general of the Cellular Operators Association of India.
Now that the legal matter has been cleared up, we are hoping that the government will allow us to go forward on this without any appeal to the Supreme Court or anything.
The telecoms ministry will make a decision on whether to challenge the decision in the Supreme Courtafter analysing the tribunal's order, Maneesha Dhir, a lawyer for the government, told Reuters.
India's telecoms carriers began launching 3G in 2011 and the premium services currently account for about 4 percent of their revenue. But 3G revenue is growing more than 70 percent annually, much faster than the dominant voice services, according to Naveen Kulkarni, a telecoms analyst at PhillipCapital.
This is a significant long-term positive, helps in faster data growth and also reduces the long-term capex requirement,he said.
Telecom operator Reliance Communications today announced a tripartite agreement with Tata Teleservices and Aircel to provide 3G roaming services to each others customers using their network across country.
RCom and Aircel have permits for 3G services in 13 out of 22 service areas while Tata Teleservices has permit in 9 circles.
“We are delighted to be the first operator to offer 3G national roaming to our customers in partnership with other telecom firms having state-of-the-art 3G networks.
“These alliances will further consolidate RCom’s position as the leading data operator in the country and will help the Company improve its post-paid and Corporate customer market share,” RCom’s Chief Executive Officer for Consumer Business, Gurdeep Singh, said in a statement.
RCom circles comprise Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa, Assam, North East, Jammu & Kashmir.
With this agreement, RCom gets access to 5 uncommon service areas – Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and UP East where Aircel has presence. Its agreement with TTSL gives it access to Maharashtra, Gujarat, Haryana and UP west.
So again we can see 3g roaming among idea airtel voda in coming days

According to our members JustLife(he is just my friend on forum) said below things which is true as I think
##################################################
TO CLARIFY
1. INTRA CIRCLE ROAMING - ILLEGAL
. - OPERATOR CANNOT SELL ITS SERVICES IN CIRCLES,NOT HAVING LICENSE/SPECTRUM.
2. INTER CIRCLE ROAMING - LEGAL - OPERATOR CAN USE SOME OTHER OPERATOR TOWER FOR SIGNAL/SERVICES IN CIRCLES/AREAS WHERE THERE IS NO COVERAGE,THIS DOES NOT MEAN THEY CAN SELL SERVICES. - THIS WILL HELP IN GETTING COVERAGE NOT SELLING SERVICES
.
[FOR Ex]
BSNL and MTNL- AS U ALL KNOW MTNL IS ONLY PRESENT IN 2 CIRCLES[Delhi+Mumbai], so BSNL n MTNL already have a INTER CIRCLE ROAMING,AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE COVERAGE IN AREAS WHERE BSNL[Delhi+Mumbai] DOESNT HAVE LICENSE,AND THE SAME WAY MTNL CUSTOMERS GET COVERAGE IN OTHER PARTS OF INDIA WHERE BSNL DOES NOT HAVE NETWORK.
RCOM TIED UP FOR INTER CIRCLE ROAMING,NOT INTRA CIRCLE ROAMING,WHICH IS ILLEGAL..!
IT WILL HELP RCOM USERS TO GET COVERAGE IN AREAS WHERE RCOMS DOES NOT HAVE COVERAGE,SIMILARLY TATA n AIRCEL WILL USE RCOMS NETWORK TOWERS WHERE THEY HAVE LESS COVERAGE.
THIS DOES NOT MEANS THEY WILL START SELLING SERVICES........JUST COVERAGE
