It’s always fun to see various statistics and reports following certain months or quarters of mobile activities. Looking at the last September in India, you’re going to be amazed to find out that there were 3.9 new connections every second during the month. The market reached 310.62 million users with a penetration rate of 27.5%.

Number one operator was Bharti which managed to pull in about 2.70 new subscribers. Vodafone was second with 1.86 million, Reliance followed with 1.72 million. Idea had 1.10 million, Tata 0.96 million, Aircel 0.75 million and BPL 0.15 million.

Looking at the total number of subscribers, Bharti has 77.48 million, Reliance 56.01 million, Vodafone 54.61 million and BSNL 39.33. Everyone else follows the top four carriers. 7.65 million people chose new GSM phones while 2.34 million new subscribers chose CDMA handsets.

I wonder what the stats for China are for the same period!
