July 2010: India Broadband Base at 9.77 M; Mobile At 652.42 M

The total broadband connection base in India grew by 3.39% during July 2010, up from 9.45 million at the end of June 2010, inching slowly towards the 10 million mark, even as the number of wireline connections in the country declined by around 220,000 to 35.96 million. BSNL holds 74.20% of the wireline marketshare, while MTNL has 9.67%. Bharti Airtel is closing in on MTNL, with 8.83% of India's wireline connections. But when it comes to broadband, there is little doubt that broadband in India will have to be mobile, and the recent allocation of 3G and BWA spectrum offers some hope. The broadband numbers probably don't include EVDO. By the end of July 2010, the total telephone (wireless + wireline) subscriber base in India reached 688.38 million, tele-density of India at 58.17. Airtel added the maximum number of wireline connections at 2.6 million, amounting to 15.37% of the total connections added for the month and a change of 1.9% in its total wireless connection base. Reliance ran in at second with 2.5 million new connections, 14.84% of the total. Idea cellular added 1.86 million connections, taking its total wireless connection base to 70.75 million, 2.7% more.
