- Unmatched growth (up to 20 million new mobile connections each month)
- An enormous untapped market, in that only 61 percent of its growing and increasingly affluent 1.2 billion population has any kind of voice connection
- An amazing hunger for mobile services
- A political and regulatory environment that is so unpredictable, almost anything could happen tomorrow
All of which adds up to an exciting, yet potentially perilous, market for telecom systems vendors looking to sell their wares to India's network operators.
So when the Light Reading team visited the India Telecom 2010 show in New Delhi recently, we weren't really sure what to expect. Would the event reflect the market, and be completely different from anything else in the world?
So we took our camera along to snap what we saw on the show floor. Click on any of the photos below to start the slideshow and use the arrows above each pic to navigate:

Thats where telecom market is and I am really proud to be from India. India has lot to do in telecoms and great potential. It use to be old days when people want to come abroad to work and never go back. Time is taking u-turn and now people are leaving well establish careers to work in inida and settle in India, I wonder why not!
All the best to all Indian and well done.
