The Indian telecommunication industry, with about 564 million mobile phone connections as of Feb 2010, is the third largest telecommunication network in the world and the second largest in terms of number of wireless connections. The Indian telecom industry is the fastest growing in the world and is projected that India will have a 'billion plus' mobile users by Jan 2012. Projection by several leading global consultancies is that Indias wireless telecom network will overtake Chinas in the next 2 years. For the past decade or so, telecommunication activities have gained momentum in India. Efforts have been made from both governmental and nongovernmental platforms to enhance the infrastructure. The idea is to help modern telecommunication technologies to serve all segments of Indias culturally diverse society, and to transform it into a country of technologically aware people. It is noteworthy that the Indian Mobile subscriber base grew 10 fold in just 4 years (from 7.56 million subscribers in Dec 2001 to 75.94 million subscribers in Dec 2005) and then over the next 4 years it grew 7 fold (from 75.94 million subscribers in Dec 2005 to 525.94 million subscribers in Dec 2009). In the first two months of 2010 there have been a record breaking 38.59 million mobile subscriber additions - More than twice as many added in China during the same period (18.6 million), which is currently leading with 766 million mobile subscribers as of Feb 2010. The unprecedented rise in the number of new connections has lent credence to the popular belief that India will soon overtake China as the country with the world's largest mobile subscriber population.
