Industry = Telecommunications

Press Release Summary = With six deals in the making being unveiled during the month
of January this year, India is seen as a fast emerging global refiner.

Press Release Body = The mobile industry in India believes the market still offers
loads of opportunity for both GSM & CDMA technologies. While the service providers
have been launching various plans to lure customers, it's still a big question as to
which of the two technologies will lead eventually.

There're twelve operators in India where the population has crossed one billion. Of
these, eight are GSM providers. India is the most competitive telecom market in the
world. The Telecom tariff in India is just 2 cents/minute as against 4 cents in
China. This is something that's absolutely in favor of the Indian mobile industry.

Boom in telecom has completely changed the teledensity scenario in India. With
companies continuously penetrating deeper in to the interiors of this country,
teledensity is expected to grow further in the years to come. As per industry
estimates, GSM subscriber base rose by 81% year-on-year in October 2006. However,
CDMA subscriber base has more than doubled compared to the previous year. This shows
that both the technologies have been quite successful in increasing the mobile usage
in the country, and will likely continue to do so in the near future as well.

As per RNCOS report on "Mobile Handset Market In India (2006)", India has emerged as
one of the booming mobile markets throughout the globe. For the 1st time after 1995
- when mobile services were launched in the country - India has pulled alongside
China. India added 4.5 million new mobile phone subscribers during December 2005.
