The mobile telecoms industry turned its focus on
India at this year`s 3GSM trade fair and away from China, after years
of talking about little else but China`s huge market and potential
third generation licenses. Vodafone`s $11 billion deal to buy a controlling stake in India`s fourth-biggest mobile phone firm, Hutchison Essar, announced on the eve of fair, set the agenda as those participants who had not already done so woke up to India`s potential. With 150 million subscribers but market penetration of still only 15 percent, India is already the world`s fourth-biggest mobile market behind China, the United States and Russia. It is also the fastest-growing major market and is expected to overtake Russia this year. At its current growth rate, there will be half a billion mobile subscribers in India by 2010. |
