India now has 150M subscribers
All eyes are on China and India as the near term most interesting mobile phone and infrastructure markets. India nearly doubles mobile phone use in 2006 describes the outlook for India, that looks very promising for anyone involved in that market.
At the end of 2006 there were 149.5M subscribers, and the Indian government estimates there will be 500M mobile and fixed line subscribers by 2010.
Fixed line subscribers are decreasing, and note that they are already way below mobile subscribers: 40M. Might they be close to 0 by 2010?
