It has been in the works for some time. IIRC, Kerela/Karnataka/TN got the first taste in Sep 2007 when trials started and there was partial deployment. In real life, the performace will not be uniformly high (or even closer to the design speed of 2MBPS for EVDO). Various levels, depending on the distance from the tower, obstructions etc. will be seen. It will be better than a few other providers in any case. There is no roaming facility so far. A good start though. One may see Reliance/Tata-Indicom starting to offer similar products some time as this is CDMA based.
