It will happen eventually, but you need to be patient.
2 main things need to happen: 1. Wholesale cost of international bandwidth needs to come down by at least 75%, and 2. NIXI per gb charges need to be abolished. Based on current trends, I can only predict that the former should happen by year-end 2011 and the latter only if the right people are pressured.

before the end of 2010 we'll have 2mbps unlimited @ 999 rs. tomorrow will be a very big day in indian telecom history. after auctioning of 3G spectrum we'll see a great revolution in wireless broadband and also in landlin broadband.
You might be right about 2mbit/s at 999, but I can assure you that 3G is not a panacea (cure-all) for Indian Broadband. Each company is spending in excess of 1 billion dollars for a pan-India spectrum allocation- and they will have to recoup that cost.
In my opinion, India should pretty much skip 3g and jump straight up to LTE.
In addition, you will start to hit a lower limit on pricing.
Hopefully soon India will be like most of Europe in that a 2mbit/s UL plan costs Rs900 or so, but a 50mbit/s UL plan costs only Rs2300 or so (and yes, this is actually the case in most of Western Europe), and only the really really light users will be on anything cheaper.
