RCOM Prices 3G Broadband Similar To EVDO

This is not unexpected: Reliance Communications, which a couple of days ago, announced the launch of its 3G broadband services in Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh and Kerala, has priced mobile broadband on par with its EVDO Reliance Netconnect Plus service, or just marginally higher. In comparison with the prices for 3G services (below), EVDO services are priced at Rs. 650 for 1GB, Rs. 850 for 3GB, Rs. 1099 for 10 GB.
