Internet and Telecommunications Reports
India Telecom, Broadband and Digital Media
Report
India continues to be one of the fastest growing major telecom markets in the
world. Sweeping reforms introduced by successive Indian governments over the last decade
have dramatically changed the nature of telecommunications in the country. The mobile
sector has grown from around 10 million subscribers in 2002 to pass the 900 million mark
in early 2012. While GSM technology still dominates the mobile market, CDMA has claimed
around 25% market share. The mobile industry should continue to boom. Fixed-line services
grew strongly for a while but have been experiencing zero and negative growth of late.
This report presents the key measures and takes a general look at the market direction. See report executive
summary
India Internet Broadcasting and
Digital Media Report
India has long had a fascination with television. After years of steady growth,
the country has emerged as one of the largest TV markets in the world in terms of viewers.
In the last decade the television programming landscape has been totally transformed.
India now has one of the largest broadcasting networks in terms of infrastructure.
Doordarshan, the Indian National Television Network, reaches more than 90% of the
population. But there remains much work to be done as India still has a significant
component of the market that is analogue. Transitioning the mass market to digital
is a major challenge. There are already rapidly expanding digital segments in the
TV market, notably IPTV/Broadband TV and with some digitalisation of the traditional
platforms proceeding at a good pace. The type of expansion being witnessed in digital
media is expected to continue at an increased rate.

India Broadband Market
Report
India appears to have embraced the Internet with a
degree of ambivalence. There is tremendous enthusiasm amongst the
dial-up users and an estimated 60% of users regularly access the
Internet via the country’s more than 10,000 cybercafes. But
when it comes to high-speed broadband access, there is
reluctance, especially within the corporate sector, and the
take-up rate has been slow. By early 2005 there were about
700,000 broadband subscribers – a penetration of less 0.1%.
This report looks at the stage the development of broadband
Internet has reached in India. See report
summary.
