Indian Internet Subscriber Base To Cross 38.5 Million This Year: IAMAI

Exchange4Media.com: There are several estimates on India’s net subcriber base. A couple of months ago when I asked internet companies like Yahoo! India and Rediff, they said the base cannot be more than 25 million. Anyway, it’s a moving/dynamic number, and this is the latest on the subject.
According to a study by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), the Internet user base in the country grew by 54 per cent to reach 38.5 million users in 2005 from just 25 million in the previous year. E-commerce, too, has registered an impressive growth. Currently, the total e-commerce market in India is estimated at Rs 1,180 crore (2005-06), which is estimated to grow to Rs 2,300 crore by 2006-07, an over 100 per cent increase.
