Addressing a press conference here, Chief Operating Officer for North India Aditya Gupta announced its industry-changing pay-for-what-you-use model in Himachal Pradesh, which included the game-changing per-second pulse and a plethora of innovative applications and services. The company's pan-India service rollout, which was kicked off in June 2009, would be completed this year itself, he said.
