According to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, the number of Indians using their mobile phones (both GSM and CDMA) to logon to the internet has increased from 16 million in 2006 to 38 million in 2007.

Broadband subscribers’ figures, on the other hand, as on 30th October 2007, were a mere 2.69 million. And there are 22 million personal computers in the country, with just 30 to 40 per cent of them with internet access.

This implies that internet access through mobile phones is at least six times more than that through PCs, and nearly 14 times more than broadband access, reports Business Standard."
