In 2004, TRAI had a target of 40million till the year 2010 and Its we have 52 Million internet users in INDIA till 2010.

They have a new target of 237mn by 2015. Really is it possible??

237 mn internet users in India by 2015: Report - Economic Times

IS IT POSSIBLE?? :huh:

They've got the amount of internet users that they had wanted, but only half the number of broadband users they had wanted. I'd say a large percentage of these users are on GPRS plans which would be why the number of internet users is so "good".

237m internet users is probably possible but broadband... not so much. As awesome as it would be to get 237mn broadband users, we'd probably have to commission another 9 cables to satisfy the demand!!
 
so they are already counting gprs users as internet users? 3g users would be broadband users!

Sadly, this will probably be the case.

You're reading that wrong.

They're targeting 237m internet users, not broadband users. The amount of broadband users they're anticipating is only like 50 or 70m or something like that (I forget the exact number)... so the large percentage of internet users in India will still be on narrowband services.

Mg i meant the same, that 237mn includes mobile internet,broadband,dialup Etc( ...
 
Hope the blueprint has some good things like LLU.But how will they implement it..is it FTTP/FTTB or just FTTN?If it is the same fttn i.e. to the node....i doubt whether it will do any difference as we already have a lot of fttn.solving the last mile problem really is a big deal.
 
They are not doing anything to make 64kbyte(all sectors) as minimum broadband speed and talking about fibre optics.The last broadband revolution in India started in 2004,when TRAI labeled the minimum speeds to be 256kbps.It's been 7 years and it's still 256kbps. It's nothing less than a scam.
