Ncell launches 3G Mobile Internet in Mount Everest

3g mobile internet at mount everest nepal

Ncell, a Nepalese subsidiary of TeliaSonera, the first private telecom company in Nepal, has launched 3G Mobile Internet service from Mount Everest. They have also launched world’s highest video services at 17,388 feet. So far, visitors of Mount Everest had to depend on satellite phones to make calls, but now they can do so through a standard GSM, 3G-enabled network.

While the nascent 3G network might sound like a mere plaything for Everest mountaineers, it’s actually meant to serve an important function: Bringing mobile phone service and mobile Internet service to Nepal. Currently, only a third of Nepal gets any mobile signal, and only two percent of the population is connected to the Internet according to indiatimes.com.
