The Telecom Subscription growth does not stop at anything. Nearly an year back, we were averaging about 12 million subscribers a month – I had thought that in next 12 months the monthly growth rate should stabilize to around 10 million, but it does not seem like happening. Infact, it has nearly doubled and last few months have averaged around 18-19 million subscriber additions.
According to latest report by TRAI, the Telecom Subscribers in India have reached to 581 million which brings the overall Teledensity of India to 49.7%

Broadband Subscribers
The Broadband subscriber base remains dismal – With a population of 1 Billion, we have less than 8 million subscribers, which gives us broadband density of just 0.8% !! I dont know when this is going to improve. While we are doing phenomenally well in mobile subscriptions, we are equally dismal when it comes to broadband connectivity
