Over 500 million people
in
India are now mobile subscribers, in part due to the incredibly low
rates (competition among operators has driven down tariffs to below
0.01 Indian rupees (US$0.0002) per second). To increase
revenue and build loyalty, Indian mobile operators are putting significant effort on
value-added services, including Internet services. Most Service
Providers are planning to set up application stores.
In
India, we see music and film companies, game makers
and
musicians all aggressively entering the mobile content market for
ringtones, gaming, mobile imagery and streaming audio and video.
Service providers in India have positioned mobile services as game
changers in attracting and retaining subscribers. India's
youth
from Chennai to Bangalore are avid consumers of mobile games,
ringtones, and data services.
