After the downward revision of rates, 3G data tariffs are now at par with 2G across all 10 Idea 3G circles. 2G and 3G data could be accessed by users at 2 paise per 10 KB. The lower tariffs will be available to both existing as well as new prepaid and postpaid users.

As per the daily, the two-wheeler maker has appointed its American technology partner Erik Buell Racing as the exclusive distributor.
