As per a TRAI release, India became the second largest wireless network in the world, by the end of March. India now has over 261.09 million wireless subscribers, with 10.16 million subscribers added in March 2008 alone. If I remember correctly, we were adding between 7-9 million subscribers every month last year, so the rate of addition of subscribers appears to be increasing. The teledensity is now at 26 percent. March was a particularly good month, given the context that 8.53 million subs were added in February.
The situation for broadband subscribers hasn’t improved much: end March, India had 3.9 million broadband subscribers, up 430,000 from Feb 2008, which isn’t much:
No updates in the report on the number of dialup subscribers, though.
