Not everyone is convinced that Indian telecom market is developing fast. “In Beijing I see everybody having a mobile in hand, male or female, old or young and rich or poor..”. says one Chinese participant at WWRF, “…I do not see Indians using mobiles like that” (He is surprised to learn in South Asia not every user owns a mobile phone!)

What else do we know about the Indian telecom users? How far broadband penetrated the Indian markets? What are the future opportunities? R. Balaji of Midas communication perhaps answers some of these questions in his presentation titled Scenario Description and Business Opportunity Analysis – The Indian Broadband Scenario. He also explains some of Midas communications own initiatives to open broadband to the bottom of the pyramid.
