 India - Broadband Market
Synopsis
While India initially embraced the Internet with a degree of ambivalence, there was tremendous enthusiasm among dial-up users and an estimated 60% of Internet users were still regularly accessing the Internet via the country's more than 10,000 cybercafes. But when it comes to high-speed broadband access, there has been reluctance to embrace, especially within the corporate sector, and the take-up rate has been relatively slow. By early 2009, there were around 6 million broadband subscribers - a lowly penetration (by population) of less than 0.6%. After a surge in broadband subscribers in 2006, the market settled back to a relatively modest 50% growth in 2007/08. The WiMAX technology was attracting considerable interest in India as operators committed to substantial network roll-outs. However, by early 2009, the number of WiMAX subscribers remained modest for the time being. This report looks at the stage the development of broadband Internet has reached in India.

India - Broadcasting
Since television was first introduced in India in 1959, the country has emerged as one of the largest TV markets in the world. Television is estimated to reach around 60% of all individuals (urban and rural) in India. In the last decade the television programming landscape has also been totally transformed. India has one of the largest broadcasting networks in the world. Doordarshan, the Indian National Television Network established in 1959, reaches more than 90% of the population. The type of expansion being witnessed in digital media is expected to continue at an increased rate. Convergence of broadcasting and telecommunications is in its early stages and IPTV has been launched.

India - Fixed Network Operators
Domestic fixed-line telephony in India had traditionally been the preserve of the state-owned operators, BSNL and MTNL. In 2001, the Indian government opened up the whole fixed-line telephone business to an unlimited number of operators in each of the defined telecom circles (regions). Prior to this, only one private company had been allowed to compete with an existing state-run player in each circle. VSNL, the former monopoly provider of international telephony, also lost its exclusive status in April 2002 when the international market was opened to competition. This report provides an overview of India's fixed network voice services and the operators involved in providing these services.

India - Internet Market
Synopsisx
Despite the considerable popularity of Internet in India, the ISP market has been in disarray. There were around 150 operational ISPs in the country, after a period of market rationalisation, but, despite the large number of providers, 10% of the ISPs have 90% of the subscribers. In fact, 5% have 85%. The state-owned - BSNL and MTNL - dominate the market, holding first and second place in terms of Internet subscribers. Cybercafés have certainly been playing a major role in fuelling Internet development in India. About 30% of the total Internet subscriber base has broadband access. Despite this relatively high proportion, development of broadband Internet in India has been particularly slow. This report also takes a look at the wider Internet and e-services market as the country moves slowly towards the New Internet Economy.

India - Key Statistics and Telecommunications Market Overview
Synopsis
India continues to be one of the fastest growing major telecom markets in the world. Sweeping reforms introduced by successive Indian governments over the last decade have dramatically changed the nature of telecommunications in the country. The mobile sector has grown from around 10 million subscribers in 2002 to pass the 350 million mark by early 2009. While GSM technology still dominates the mobile market, CDMA has claimed around 25% market share. The mobile industry should continue to boom. Fixed-line services grew strongly for a while but have been experiencing zero and negative growth of late. This report presents the key measures and takes a general look at the market direction.
