Summary

In a manner that exudes a sense of the dramatic, India continues to be one of the fastest growing major telecom markets in the world. Sweeping reforms introduced by successive Indian governments over the last decade have dramatically changed the nature of telecommunications in the country. The mobile sector has grown from around 10 million subscribers in 2002 to 80 million (including both GSM and CDMA services) by early 2006, aided by a mix of higher subscriber volumes, lower tariffs and falling handset prices. Whilst GSM technology still dominates the market, CDMA has quickly grabbed a 23% market share. The mobile industry should continue its strong growth. The country's telecom regulator, the TRAI, says that the rate of market expansion would increase with further regulatory and structural reform. The adoption of Unified Licensing, a change in the Access Deficit Charge regime, increased sharing of infrastructure and coverage of new areas by operators will contribute to ongoing growth. Fixed-line services, although not as spectacular as mobiles, are growing solidly. By early 2006, the country has passed the 50 million fixed line milestone.
