Indian 3G Mobile Forecast to 2012

The Indian mobile market has undergone a revolutionary change over the past
few years to become one of the leading mobile markets on the global map. Easy
availability of low-priced devices, better network coverage and affordable
services are some of the major factors that have boosted its growth and will
continue to do the same in future. Wireless teledensity has also risen to the level
of around 45% at the end of 2009, but still there is a vast scope for further
improvement because of a wide gap in teledensity between urban and rural
areas. For instance – the wireless teledensity in urban areas rose to around
112% in the mid 2010, while it stood at 24% in rural areas.

Our research anticipates that the deployment of 3G services on a national scale

will play a vital role in bridging this huge gap. According to our new research
report “Indian 3G Mobile Forecast to 2012”, the number of 3G mobile
subscribers is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 80% between 2011 and
2013 to around 55 Million by the end of the period. Our research provides in-
depth analysis of the various factors and issues that will play an important role in
the 3G market growth.

Our research projects that the 3G market growth will primarily depend on the
deployment of 3G services by the telecom operators. It is expected that
operators such as Reliance, Vodafone and Airtel will launch their 3G services by
the end of 2010.

Our study anticipates that the country will witness substantial amount of
investments in 3G deployments and upgradation of the present telecom
infrastructure with the finishing of the auction process. The report provides
extensive information of the market potential in terms of 3G subscribers, and
