05.08.2010:CHQ writes to CMD on short supply of 3G
Data cards:'At a time when the private operators are
waiting on the wings to roll out their 3G services in a few months to come,
delay in supply will adversely affect our prospects and could be a move to wean
away our subscribers. We believe that after Broad band, our 3G data cards have
