Evolution-Data Optimized or Evolution-Data only, abbreviated as EV-DO or EVDO and often EV, is a telecommunications standard for the wireless transmission of data through radio signals, typically for broadband Internet access.
It uses multiplexing techniques including Code division multiple access (CDMA) as well as Time division multiple access (TDMA) to maximize both individual user's throughput and the overall system throughput. It is standardized by 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) as part of the CDMA2000 family of standards and has been adopted by many mobile phone service providers around the world – particularly those previously employing CDMA networks.

I m an EVDO user and its really cool.. In India as far as i know only BSNL has launched this service..
EVDO is basically wireless high speed internet. The speed which BSNL gives is as good as ADSL speed. This is NOT the same as TATA Indicom's 'Plug to surf' or Reliance's mobile internet as they us CDMA 2.75 G technology while BSNL uses EV-DO 3 G technology. The bandwidth which TATA or Reliance give is maximum 144kbps while the bandwidth of BSNL EVDO is 2.4 MBps, cost of the USB modem (for all is nearly) is Rs 2,800. The modem is chinese which really bugs it is of ZTE but service is good.
The main drawback of this service is that it covers only a perticular city but in BSNL MP attemmpts are being made to give CDMA coverage throughout the state.
