Vodafone India reaches 10M 3G connections in Q1-FY15

The addition of 3 million 3G data connections in the quarter - the highest 3G adoption by Vodafone India customers in a quarter – led to the telco reaching the 10 million 3G connection mark in India for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 (Q1-FY15). It had reported 7 million 3G connections in the previous quarter and 3.7 million 3G connections in the same quarter last year.

Vodafone's competitor Airtel had reported 58.08 million data connections for Q4-FY14, while RCOM had reported 37.4 million data connections in the same quarter.. Earlier this…
