India has become the fifth country to have a base of 100 million mobile phone subscribers. Only China, US, Japan and Russia have a larger mobile phone subscriber base. Officials pointed out that just two years ago, India's telephone subscriber base - both landlines and mobile phones - was only 75 million with a tele-density of a mere 7.08 percent. Thanks to the unprecedented growth in mobile telephony in the country, the tele-density has ballooned to 13.54 percent, with a total phone base of 150 million. Of the 100 million mobile phone users - 75.3 million use the Global Standard for Mobile telephony, better known as GSM, while 25.3 million use the code division multiple access technology (CDMA).
Is VoIP and Broadband Wireless going to be the next flood in communications to hit the country?
