Indian Farmers Demand More Mobile Phones
During a global economic crisis many industries are suffering with low sells and decreasing growth. Yet the mobile phone industry in India has grown to a record 11 million subscribers this year.
Economists say that India’s economic growth and stock market for this year are slowing down. But cellphone companies like Idea Cellular Ltd. are aggressively meeting the demands of rural Indians who on the average use their phones 8.5 hours a month, increasing 10% from last year. The increase of subscribers is making India the fastest growing mobile phone market in the world and there are little signs of it slowing down.
