India adds record 4.7 million GSM users in Oct
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India added 4.7 million GSM subscribers in Oct., a monthly record, boosting its user base to 134.23 million, an industry association said on Thursday.
Numbers for those who signed up for CDMA-based services in the world's fastest growing wireless services market have not yet been released.
Carriers such as Bharti Airtel Ltd. are reacting to surging demand by expanding their networks into communication starved rural areas. The world's cheapest local mobile call rates are also spurring customers to enter the sector.
India's total number of wireless services users also surged after telecoms officials ruled that customers opting for fixed wireless phones, based on GSM and CDMA technology, would also be counted as mobile users.
Major players in the sector include Bharti Airtel, Reliance Communications Ltd., state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. and Hutchison Essar Ltd.
