India posts CDMA subscriber base of 100Mn

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: India, world’s second largest CDMA market, at present has 100 million subscribers to its kitty and anticipates adding another 100 million in next two years.
“The country has added 50 million subscribers in India in just two years. Going forward we expect to add another 100 million subscribers in the next two years,” CDG Executive Director Perry LaForge said.
In India operators such as Tata Teleservices, Reliance Communications and Siestema Shyam Telelink offer mobile services based on the CDMA technology.
The growth is driven by availability of affordable mobile phones and low mobile tariffs. LaForge further said “Efforts led by CDMA operators, device manufacturers, technology enablers and the CDG introduced an array of entry-level handsets to the market while tariffs dropped by more than 40 per cent.”
