HCL Laptops with MTNL 3G Wireless Broadband

In a last attempt bid to push 3G Services which has failed to take-off in the hands of MTNL, the company has tied up with HCL Infosystems Ltd which retails laptops. Combined, HCL will bundle MTNL 3G HSDPA Wireless Broadband packages with its laptops so that customers can go online using MTNL's 3G network.

HCL will offer 3G broadband Services on selected range of laptops and ME Net books. HCL will bundle MTNL 3G Data card along with its prepaid 3G GSM Wireless Broadband connections, through its distributors in Mumbai and Delhi by mid November.

Going forward, 3G HSDPA Wireless Broadband is going to be aggressively marketed by Indian Telecom companies and Mr. Sunil Mittal of Airtel has already acknowledged the same by giving a slip to WiMax which is a failure until today.

Details of the offer not yet published. We will update as soon as they are available or check out the forum if somebody else updates there.
