India’s Idea Cellular is now the country’s third largest GSM operator, based on the November figures from the Cellular Operators Association of India. The carrier overtook state-controlled BSNL with 55.9 million customers, compared to 55.2 million for BSNL.
The GSM industry as a whole added 11 million subscribers, taking the countrywide tally to 366 million. Bharti Airtel grew fastest, adding 2.8 million new customers, followed by Vodafone which ended the month with 2.78 million new customers.
The mid-ranked B circles continued to be the regions with the fastest growth rates, except for Jammu and Kashmir, where a recent ban on prepay phones resulted in drop in mobile phone users.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
