India net-adds cross 6M mark October 12, 2006
Posted by chetan in : ARPU, BRIC, India, Indian Wireless Market , trackbackIndia might have overtaken China in net adds this month (still need to verify the numbers from China for Sept). During September 2006, 6.07 million wireless subscribers were added while wireline subscribers declined by 0.12 million at the end of September 2006 resulting in net increase of 5.95 million subscribers as compared to almost similar net additions of 5.94 million during August 2006.
The total subscriber base stands at approx 130M subs, meaning India has already added over 56M subs this year and is likely to double the number from its 2005 levels.
