A recent study projects that by 2010, India will have 21.3 million 3G users (11 per cent of the mobile lines). Within two years, India will take over Japan to become the third largest mobile market in the world after China and the US, says the recent Confederation of Indian Industry report titled, “Enabling India’s Broadband Economy - The 3G Way”, conducted in partnership with the research firm, The Yankee Group.

Keeping in view that as on date we have managed only one million broadband users against a target of three million to have been achieved by December 2005, there is a need to exploit the 3G technologies to enhance the penetration of broadband access particularly in the congested urban areas as well as to make available the benefits of e-governance features to our rural population.
