Vodafone India added 3 million 3G Internet connections for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, taking its total 3G connection base to a total of 16.6 million 3G connections for the quarter, as compared to 13.6 million 3G connections in the previous quarter and 5.2 million 3G connections in the same quarter last year.
