    Apple iPhone 3G in India by Airtel and VodafoneIndians anxiously waiting for the release of the Apple iPhone have been given a jolt by the Telecom regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) in the form of increased base price of 3G auctions.

    The revised base price for the 3G services has been set to Rs. 2200 crore, up from the previously set Rs.1400 crore for a Pan-India license.

    To put it in simple terms, companies have to bid for their share of the 3G spectrum in India. TRAI sets the base price above which the bids fall. By increasing this base price, TRAI is causing the companies to invest heavily. What this means for us? Increased tariff for 3G. And we need 3G if we want to experience the complete features of the iPhone.

    The blogosphere has been buzzing with news about the iPhone’s India launch. People have been hugely anticipating the pricing of the iPhone in India. Here’s what the Economic Times has to say.

    Apple iPhoneWe know that the iPhone will be priced at $199 in the USA, but what many of us do not know is that this is a subsidised price that Apple and AT&T have worked out. Going by market researcher iSuppli, each iPhone has been subsidised to the extent of $300! This subsidised rate is made up through higher call and SMS rates.

    What that means for us is that we may not be seeing Airtel and Vodafone’s iPhone priced at Rs. 8000, not with SMS and call rates in India being one of the cheapest in the world (with plans to decrease even further). The price may instead be at around Rs. 21,000.

    So would you be willing to pay 21,000 bucks for the new 8GB iPhone 3G when it hits Indian shores?

    Airtel’s Customer Care may have no clue about the Apple iPhone 3G, but Airtel has updated their website with a link to book the iPhone.

    I’ll be dropping by the Airtel showroom near my place most likely tomorrow and ask them a few questions. Let’s see how this goes. The prospect of having the new Apple iPhone with Airtel (along with 3G of course ;) ) has completely taken over my mind.
