India has emerged as a significant force around the world, fueled by its rapid growth over the last decade. The economic growth has taken place concurrent to its explosive growth in communications and to a significant extent, fueled by it. India used to add less than one million telephones a year in the early nineties. Now it adds six million per month. It is the wireless technology (both fixed wireless as well as mobiles), which has made telecommunication affordable in India, fueling the growth. This has helped business in all kinds of ways, propelling the Indian economy.
