India to be second in global mobile broadband market by 2016

In a recent study by GSMA, India features quite high up on the mobile broadband listing. In fact the same study actually pitches the country in the second place in its prediction for the world’s largest mobile broadband markets, and adds that it will be within the next four years that India will boast of having 367 million mobile connections. India will soon push ahead of USA and Japan and will be second only to China, which would have reached about 639 million connections by 2016, which is when India would reach its expected 367 million mark. As per their research, there has been a steady growth in the number of broadband connections, since 3G licenses were dished out back in September 2010. India has more than 10 million HSPA connections, which is expected to increase by a staggering 900 percent to more than 100 million connections by the year 2014.
