Expectations of broadband in India


At the end of quarter ending march-2010, India has mere 2.52 million broadband subscribers [256 Kbps speed, it hasn't changed yet :-) ] A QoQ growth of just 8%. If we grow at this pace [8% QoQ growth] then we will have mere 10.06 million by 2010 half way through DoT’s Broadband Policy – 2004 target of 20 million broadband subscribers by 2010. If the QoQ growth is @ 10% then we will have 14.01 million subscribers
Of the current 2.52 million, Bharti Airtel broadband has 0.63 milllion and Reliance Broadband around 0.7 million. BSNL and Tata indicom/VSNL together are expected to have another 1 million and leaving the rest to other smaller ISPs.
Recently the traffic has upgraded in good price and can be afforded.
Mtnl in the lead doubled its speed for the customers this month. follow others Isp’s like bharti airtel, reliance, and bsnl came up with the mark
Many were disappointed with the internet backbone on india(BSNL) for not upgrading the existing plans.
Introducing Wimax to india was a failure for the customers not affording it. reliability depends a lot in wimax connections.
