India's Internet: A 'Niche' Market of 300M Users


Home to 20 percent of the world's population, India is preparing for an explosion in demand for online access from both businesses and consumers. This populous and dynamic nation counts 50 million online users, a figure projected to grow by a factor of six in next three years. Fiber optic cable networks, led in large part by the Indian railway authority, will help ensure there's sufficient bandwidth to meet this predicted upswing. While some have written off India as a "niche market" dominated by telemarketing, call centers, and software startups, Indian's Internet landscape is as diverse and vibrant as the country itself.
