Indian mobile phone subscribers pass 200 million mark

The number of Indian mobile phone subscribers has passed the 200 million mark after the country added another eight million customers last month, industry figures show, reports the AFP.

"India's mobile revolution is mainly confined to the cities, but the real prize for phone companies is the vast rural market, where nearly 70 percent of India's 1.1 billion population live, analysts say.

The government is aiming for more than half a billion mobile phone subscribers by 2010.

India is the world's fastest growing market."
