growthWe’ve already covered India’s mobile phone market in the past and they keep growing like crazy. That being said, they are about to reach somewhat important milestone to become the second largest mobile phone market in world, trailing only China.

At the moment, China leads the world with 540.5 million subscribers and is followed by U.S. and India which have 260.5 and 250.9 million wireless users, respectively. However, according to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India that’s expected to change this April, when for the first time, India will overtake U.S. in number of mobile phone users.

In February, U.S. added 2 million, while at the same time India scored a whopping 8.53 million mobile phone users.
