3G launched in Belarus in commercial operation. life :) ahead of the two largest GSM operators

The difference in the volume of the subscriber base between leaders and life is almost 10 times.
However, initially when Turcell purchased the shares of the weakest Belarusian operator Best from the state, the question was raised about the exclusive issue of a 3G license.

True, the remaining operators (velcom and MTS) announced that they would also receive a license at the beginning of next year, 2010.

So far, life has an almost six-month advantage.
With what does the young operator enter the 3G market?
So far, only 2 new services - high-speed Internet and video call. A gigabyte costs $ 17, more "capacious" packages are available - for 2 and 4GB. life :) offers free 3G modems in exchange for an annual contract.
Access speed, on average, about 2-3Mbit. The network is the largest regional centers.
According to government requirements, the network started when there were at least 200 base 3G stations online.

It is also interesting that Belarusian life, which is the “daughter” of Ukrainian life, launched 3G faster than its Kiev parent.
