South Asia         South Asia is by and large on GSM, with pockets of CDMA here and there. Coverage isn't great in many areas, although India and Pakistan have good coverage in urban areas. Most of Asia also has 2G CDMA operators as well as GSM.         Sri Lanka leads the pack however, having its own 3G network, using 1xEV-DO."quote world 3g map<a
