rate of over 15.3% by the end of 2012 Monthly additions of above 8 million

subscribers Growth impetus from wireless segment with

84% wireless and 16% wired National teledensity at 22%, rural teledensity

at 7%, while urban at 57% 9 million Internet and 2.5 million broadband

subscribers Six major operators and eight minor operators

Future Outlook Need for massive investments in infrastructure

development – expected to require 330,000 network towers from the present 100,000

Decrease in wireline subscriber base however strong growth in mobile subscriber base

Improvements in mobile quality of service, quick service delivery, affordable pricing plans, and lower handset costs.

VAS* - Key revenue stream for mobile operators Broadband penetration is low => high growth

expected New Technologies paving the way for new services,

additional revenue streams and rural penetration

Broadband Service (>= 256 Kbps) Move into high-speed broadband

Internet access has been distinctly slow Broadband penetration still remains at

only around 0.2% Most of the local loops are owned and

operated by state owned service providers, which pose a significant bottleneck for Broadband penetration

Broadband services account for only 25% of the total Internet subscriber base

ARPU & Pricing Trend India has one of lowest mobile tariffs in

the world resulting in low ARPU ARPU have been on the decline since

2004 due to price wars and increased competition in the mobile telecom sector

ARPUs continue to drop by 5% while tariffs decrease further by 15%

Low tariffs building margin pressure on operators

Network Infrastructure

The industry needs to add additional capacity to sustain growth

Continuing trend towards import of telecom equipment

Shared Wireless infrastructure like, share tower services, help reduce operator costs by 15-18%
