3G is all set now to make its impact felt on the FM sector as well as the next round of spectrum sales for 806 FM stations begin on January 2011 with 160 channels from crosswise 60 towns are complete in the offer made by the first phase of a three year process. These auctions will be made using 3G and broadband wireless services to yield good results as it fetched vast income to the government.
However hoping that 3G and BWA will fetch massive amounts of FM radio licences to the government will be a wrong anticipation as it will just make internet radio appear to be everywhere and this can be accessed not just on computers but even on mobile handsets these days.
Proper downloads with 2G is a problem because of its speeds nevertheless this will highly improve once 3G will start being accessible. Besides fall in prices of electronics and microprocessors are likely to make cell phones more of a basic inevitability than the exemption. Furthermore, electronics in home and cars are now capable of integration of the sound output from handsets into the main audio device and likewise improve the consequence of having specific airwaves for conventional radio broadcast. This change must highly be influenced by pricing of the equipments.
This accessibility of web radio will give a wide range of playing fields to the clients even supposing there will be limitations to news and current affairs. But this restriction makes very less sense if it is coming from a part of the media group which already gives out news through print media and television.
