Reliance Communications Had 11.1M 3G, 36.2M Mobile Internet Connections At End Of Q3-FY14

Reliance Communications (RCOM) has reported a total 36.2 million data connections for the quarter ended December 31st, 2013 (Q2-FY14), up 6.47% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ). It added only 2.2 million data connections for the quarter, as compared to 2.9 million connections in the previous quarter.

This was 31.2% up year on year. - 3G connection base increased by 21.98% to 11.1 million connections from 9.1 million connections in the previous quarter, adding 2 million. 9.37% of RCOM's total connections are on 3G, and around 30.66% of RCOM's total…
