Mobile Revenues in India to be $8.3bn by 2013!

According to Juniper Research, Mobile data revenues on the Indian subcontinent (which includes Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) should be up around the £8.3bn mark by 2013 – having been driven by pruchasing of music, browsing, and games. Apparently ringtones are currently the most lucrative service right now, but the usual suspect are all being pointed to as drivers to the substantial growth in to 2013.

Interestingly, 3G services are really not that common now, but the report indicates deployment to be a major catalyst for data usage – that, and that fact the user base will jump from 431 mn in 2008, to 740 mn in 2013. A final catalyst pointed at is the lack of fixed line broadband, again encourgaing wireless data consumption.
