India | subscribers

One of the largest mobile subscriber base in the world, India has crossed the 500 million subscriber mark, according to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).

In November, the country added 17.7 million mobile subscribers, which brought the total to 506 million. It is estimated about 43 out of every 100 Indians now have mobile connections.

The signification addition of new subscribers was due to the deep tariff cuts by mobile operators to gain market share. PC World reported that the tariff war has pushed down voice tariffs to lower than 0.01 Indian rupees (USD0.0002) per second. Typically, it was fixed in blocks of one minute.
