The Indian market is evolving at a quick pace, now with 200M subscribers
A few key points:
'attracted a further 8.31 million wireless subscribers in August to touch 201.29 million users'
Note that a few months ago it increased by 6M per month!
'the number of people owning a telephone out of every 100 people -- rose slightly to 21.20 percent by August'
Hence still a lot of market potential, and also the replacement business has just started.
'The government is aiming for more than half a billion mobile phone subscribers by 2010.'
As some might know I'm involved in a start-up called Mobile Labs Sweden AB that implements mobile text output solutions for India, so this is really good news for us.
