Mobile, Broadband report card for 2011 in India

Lot of things happened in India in the telecom sector – 2G scam, MNP (Mobile Number Portability), rise in smart phone usage, profits of telecom companies shrinking. For details see “Spectrum of troubles in 2011 for telecom industry“. The main table from the article has been captured here.

Broadband has to be far bigger, I find the growth slow. But I do hear a lot about mobile internet and we at Oneindia are seeing a lot more traction for our mobile effort. Will 2012 see a huge wave of mobile internet users in India? Wouldn’t mind it.
