IndiaLast year, 2006, India reported a wireless subscriber base of 149.5 million users. That’s a huge increase from the 85 million users India had in 2005. The most densely populated nation picked up upwards of 6 million wireless users every month, in 2006.

Dr Jagdish Rebello, principal of iSuppli Corp., projects a wireless user base of about 484 million by 2011. Rebello attributes “A rise in per-capita income, the arrival of less-expensive phones, declines in tariffs, pro-industry and pro-consumer regulations enacted by the government and a host of other factors have been instrumental in driving this growth.”

Looks like India will be a wireless force to be reckoned with.
