Mobile gets LIVE

Telecom players push mobile Internet to stay abreast with times, and push up their revenue ratings. Indian carriers saw an addition of 6.7 million new users in the month of October. With 136.22 million users, the mobile subscriber base is six times the number of people in India who have a desktop computer. Clearly, anything to do with mobiles is a killer application.

Indian telecom players are fast realising the need to push mobile Internet to salvage their ARPUs (average revenue per users).

Early this month, domestic telecom player, Hutch, joined hands with MSN to enable mobile search, and now Bharti Airtel and Google have come together to empower mobile search for its subscribers.
