India, a market panorama
Two new interesting articles about the status of the mobile phone market in India:
India tops 200 million telephone subscribers
'The total number of wireless subscribers at the end of March was 166 million, up by 68 percent from the previous year'
Web 2.0 is not for India
'Though dismissive of Web 2.0 in India, Bajaj thinks that Mobile 2.0 will happen, but it will take time. "Of the 150 million mobile phone users, only two million are GPRS-enabled. The urban penetration is 52 per cent, while in rural areas it is 7-8 per cent. In reality there will be mobile Internet applications but the market size will not be 500 million but 25-30 million.'
