High-speed Net Subscribers to Touch 275 million in India by 2015
SI Team
The study says that recent broadband wireless auctions, in which operators were allocated spectrum, come as a much-needed respite for the future of broadband adoption in India.
Assocham and Frost & Sullivan expect the deployment of BWA to begin in this fiscal itself.
The report says that at the end of 2009, around 43 percent Internet subscribers were still using conventional dial-up connections. But today, there is a lot of potential to migrate existing subscribers to high-speed services.
Apart from high-speed Internet access, the BWA spectrum also enables Internet telephony and TV services. Not only this, the spectrum can also be used for voice and high-speed data services.
