Broadband penetration in India on the rise

By SiliconIndia,Monday, 31 August 2009, 19:23 Hrs
Bangalore: According to a recently released data from the Indian government, the total broadband subscriber base rose to 6.8 million in July from 6.62 million in June, up by 2.7 percent. The Indian government defines broadband as internet connectivity of speed at or higher than 256 kbps.

As there are five major telecommunication companies in India: Bharti, Reliance, Tata and state-owned BSNL and MTNL, they have a better chance to embark on the market by subsidizing the $500 netbooks which come with 10 inch screens.

The number of Indian users of Facebook has risen 156 percent in the past 12 months. Also, India is among top 10 Twitter user countries in the world.
