If I may butt in, not more than 20% of India would ever hope to qualify as potential mobile phones candidates.....

Even that figure is achieved by stretching it...wishful thinking....

I doubt if more than 5% of Indians currently have residential phone connections....

80% of the people live in rural India where, forget phones, even water and electricity is a luxury.

Of 20% urban population, a large percentage lives just at or below poverty line.

Edit : I found the %ages thru AskJeeves - around 2%.

India today has about 22 million telephones and less than 0.7 million Internet connections for its one
billion people. It is obvious that India urgently needs at least 150 to 200 million telephone and
Internet connections.
