According to a new study published by the Centre for Telecoms Research (CTR) London, Mobile phone connections in India will reach 600 million in five years time. The growth will arise from pre-paid connections riding on cedreasing tariffs and handset prices. The report expects urban populations of India to reach high levels of mobile phone saturation in five years time, to the extent where many phone users will have two or more handset connections.
Mobile connections in rural geographies will be constrained by coverage of network infrastructure and affordability of handsets which will limit consumption to no more than 150 million by 2011 - the report says. The report also expects mobile phone users to spend more on mobile data services driven largely by the popularity of Bollywood mobile content (e.g. Ringtones, Icons etc)
