Only 13 Percent Indian Subscribers On 3G/4G Networks: Facebook

NEW DELHI: Only 13 per cent of subscribers in India are using 3G and 4G networks even as high speed mobile data services are being around for over two years, a study by Facebook-led internet.org.

According to the report, India stands at the bottom when it comes to mobile data usage.

Internet.org aims to brings together a global partnership of tech leaders, nonprofits and local communities to connect two thirds of the world that do not have internet access.

"Countries like India are indicative of entry-level data use. Based on Cisco's 2014 VNI Mobile Forecast, India is at the lower-end of global use, in that mobile users average 149 MB per month," the study said.

The report puts entry-level data usage at below 100 MB per month.

Assuming the top 20 per cent of users generate 85 per cent of traffic, the bottom 80 per cent average less than 30 MB per month, it added.
